Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Drives the Data Center Architecture.

Data center decisions are heavily influenced by TCO. Higher capacity hard drives significantly contribute to reducing TCO. An 18TB data center HDD provides 29% more capacity within the same form factor as a 14TB HDD.

These high-capacity HDDs allow data centers to lower capital expenditures by minimizing the need for additional supporting hardware and system-level costs when compared to lower capacity drives. The helium-sealed, low power, and high reliability drives further decrease energy and maintenance costs, leading to operational expense savings.

For instance, a data center utilizing 18TB HDDs as opposed to 14TB HDDs can necessitate 22% fewer racks while consuming 21% less power per TB during idle conditions, resulting in a substantial overall TCO reduction for data center environments.
