HGST Quality and Service

HGST’s Ultrastar C15K600 extends the company’s long-standing

tradition of performance and reliability leadership. A balanced

combination of new and proven technologies enables high

reliability and availability to customer data.

HGST drives are backed by an array of technical support and

services, which may include customer and integration assistance.

HGST is dedicated to providing a breadth of hard disk drive

solutions to satisfy all of today’s demanding computing needs.

1

One MB is equal to one million bytes, one GB is equal

to one billion bytes and one TB equals 1,000GB (one

trillion bytes) when referring to hard drive capacity.

Accessible capacity will vary from the stated capacity

due to formatting and partitioning of the hard drive, the

computer’s operating system, and other factors.

2

MTBF and AFR targets are based on a sample population

and are estimated by statistical measurements and

acceleration algorithms under median operating

conditions. MTBF and AFR ratings do not predict an

individual drive’s reliability and do not constitute a

warranty.
