The Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC550 16Tb hard drive is especially dedicated to professionals for use in data centres. Indeed, this 3.5" hard drive for companies has many advantages for a server use such as its RVS anti-vibration technology, a load of 550 TB/year and an MTBF of 2.5 million hours.
Available in capacities from 10TB, the DC HC500 Series can be used for enterprise servers, backup systems, cloud and enterprise NAS that require 4096-byte (4Kn) sector size for high performance and high density storage with HelioSeal technology.
The Ultrastar DC HC550 features multi-axis shock sensor technology that automatically detects and compensates for even the smallest shocks to protect the data stored on the Ultrastar DC HC550, and is equipped with RAID-specific features such as error recovery time that is reduced through the hard drive's error recovery processes. Ramp load/unload technology moves the recording heads away from the platters when the drive is not in use and when powering down, ensuring less wear and tear on the recording heads and media.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that it saved my life! No but it was time to boost memory in my PC, because I was at the end of the race and change from W- 8.1 to W-10. Always loyal to LDLC: your customer !!!!!! Mr B. Da-prato
Bonne journée
I needed a HDD to back up my data. A 6t0 with 7200 rpm and 256 memory: very fast, very quiet. The perfect choice for me.
This 12TB drive is immediately recognised by Windows 11 and formatted in GPT. The capacity of the drive drops from 12TB to 11.178TB, i.e. almost 800GB of unused volume. I had anticipated this and ordered a 12TB instead of a 10TB. File transfer speed varies between 205 and 235 MB/s. There's no noise and it writes and reads just the same. My previous 4Tb Western Digital HDD never failed in 3 years, and is still under warranty for 2 more years, like this new 12Tb. I have trusted Western Digital for over 16 years and recommend their products.
Thanks to LDLC for the fast order and delivery in less than 36 hours!
Heats up less than the 1st one I bought 2 years ago (48° vs 51° after several hours of transfer, hard drive on usb dock so not ventilated). Recognised by my LDLC and inovu usb docks. Good transfer rate (190Mb/sec on average with peaks at 210Mb/sec, the 1st one I bought had peaks at 195Mb/sec and an average of 180Mb/sec but it wasn't the same source drive, and my configuration isn't new any more, core i7 4790K). Good To/price ratio (I took advantage of a promotion like for the 1st, it's a shame you can't choose in-store delivery any more). Generally quite quiet, but you can hear it scratching at times even if you're not accessing the drive (it's still noisier than the 22TB version that I also own). The ultrastars are very robust, I have 5 of them, one of which is 12TB and has been running 16/24 and 7/7 for 2 years and it's fine (remember to register on the WD site to benefit from the 5 year guarantee). Delivery a little long, ordered on Monday afternoon and received on Saturday morning (but during the promotional period, it's usually quicker).
perfect for storage 20TB capacity for file backup from a dock and backup from an SDD and also
other disks
