18TB WD Ultrastar DC HC655 WSH722018ALE601 7200 RPM SATA 3.5” HDD ~1 Year Used

Description: 18TB WD Ultrastar DC HC655 WSH722018ALE601 7200 RPM SATA 3.5” HDD ~1 Year Used 18TB CMR Hard drive from WD - HSMR is a new term for Hybrid CMR/SMR use, but default it is formatted as 18TB CMR. Used 1 year in a air conditioned data center. August 2022 production. Helium filled, lowest power usage in its class, only 0.57A on 12V. About 6W power usage. Super quiet and stays cool. Please Note: if you want to use it directly inside the PC with SATA Power;I have been using and testing drives in External Enclosures, but recently I was informed from another buyer about using the drive directly inside the PC with PC Sata Power Cable. Drives work great in the external enclosures, but the 3V pin should be blocked if you want to use directly inside PC with SATA Power. Easy process, and very common thing about using WD HDDs inside PC.Check this video, explaining the process. These drives are not removed from external enclosure but have the same design.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CH0KULXheYs HSMR is a new term for Hybrid SMR, which allows data centers to use this drive setup for higher capacity like 22TB, but the tool is available for data centers. Drive is default CMR for 18TB as a multipurpose regular SATA drive. If later date, this tool is made public, you can format this drive for higher capacity like 22TB average.
