NOTE: These HDD is used by Datacenter Servers for about 5 Years period. HDD was refurbished and data wiped with DoD standard. It's fully tested & passed factory diagnose software test. Since this is heavy duty enterprise HDD with a 2.5M-hour MTBF rating. We are confidence that to honor another 5 Years Warranty for these hard drives. Buy with confidence & worry free!

HC520 12TB HARD DRIVE delivers the world’s first hermetically sealed, helium hard drive, the He10 for massive scale-out environments. Why does helium make a difference? Helium has only one-seventh the density of air. Replacing air with helium inside a hard drive dramatically reduces the turbulence caused by the spinning disks, cuts power consumption and results in a lower temperature within the disk drive. The reduction in turbulence for the spinning disk allows HDD to deliver a seven-disk design in a traditional 3.5-inch form factor. In addition to being the world’s first helium-filled hard drive, HC520 is also the first hard drive in the industry 12-terabyte capacity. This design provides a 50% capacity gain and still reduces the energy needed to run the drive by up to 23%.
