About this item

  • 16TB capacity in a standard 3.5-inch form factor CMR technology works with all capacity enterprise applications & environments
  • The first HDD in the industry to harness Energy-Assisted Magnetic Recording (EAMR) technology improves writability and therefore increases areal density.
  • HelioSeal technology is the foundation for Western Digital’s high capacity HDDs and this is the 6th generation of HelioSeal product
  • With its massive capacity and 2.5M MTBF (projected) reliability rating, the Ultrastar DC HC550 is ideal for object storage implementations. Object storage systems with erasure coding provide better data durability compared to RAID systems, given their tolerance for simultaneous error conditions.
  • 2.5M hours (projected) MTBF rating & 5-year limited warranty


Data center decisions are driven by TCO. Higher capacity hard drives play a leading role in reducing TCO. An 16TB data center internal hard drive provides 29% more capacity in the same form factor as a 14TB HDD. Higher capacity HDDs enable data centers to lower CapEx by reducing supporting hardware and system level costs when compared to lower capacity drives. Helium-sealed, low power, high reliability drives reduce energy and maintenance costs, contributing to OpEx savings.

All 4 drives packaged perfectly. All 4 drives with factory wrapping. All 4 drives have over 1,260 hours on them, so it's quite obvious they were NOT NEW DRIVES. No place on the website does it state these are refurbished drives.All of them work, however, almost 4 years of use on them. I feel I was misled or way over charged. Buyers be aware, even reading the fine print doesn't protect you.

This drive is one of the most reliable disc drives out that.That being said, the drives being shipped today are highly unlikely to be new or have a warranty.The drive I purchased was sold by Maestro Technologies.Per the serial number, what arrived was an OEM drive without any warranty from Western Digital. The date on the drive was 2021. The disc utility check showed 18000+ hours of power on time or a bit more than 2 years of operating time.I kept the drive because of you really can't get one of these that isn't used anymore. However, be aware that what you are highly likely to get is a used drive. If that isn't for you, you should get a different drive.

I ordered two drives and they arrived with over 600 days of uptime! Nowhere on the product page is this listed as a refurbished drive.
