Business solutions

The disk uses the latest HelioSeal storage (helium). With this generation, it achieves higher power, lower power consumption and greater capacity on the board. All of these are certainly desirable features for a data centre environment, reducing the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). Additionally, the Gold Series is subject to rigorous testing across a variety of storage systems and various SATA controllers to ensure simple plug-and-play installation.
