Business solutions

The disk uses the latest storage - HelioSeal (helium). As a result this generation achieves higher performance, lower energy consumption and greater capacity per platter. These are all certainly desirable properties of a data center, where TCO is reduced (Total Cost of Ownership). Moreover the Gold series is also subject to rigorous testing in a wide range of storage systems with different SATA controllers, to ensure worry-free Plug and play installation.
