About the Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC690 32TB UltraSMR HDD
The Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC690 is a 32TB enterprise hard drive using UltraSMR shingled magnetic recording to achieve industry-leading capacity per spindle. Combining ePMR energy-assisted recording, OptiNAND, and an advanced large-block encoding scheme, it maximizes density for sequential-write capacity tiers in hyperscale infrastructure.
The helium-sealed design supports always-on operation with a 2.5-million-hour rating and high annual workload tolerance. UltraSMR is optimized for sequential and zoned write patterns common in object storage and archive systems, where host-managed or device-managed zoning extracts the full capacity advantage over conventional recording.
Ideal for
- Hyperscale object and archive storage
- Sequential-write capacity tiers
- Cold and active-archive data pools
- Distributed file-system capacity nodes
- Backup and long-retention repositories
