Impact of Sound on Computer Hard Disk Drives and Risk Mitigation Measures

Hard disk drives store the information of the connected world. The many industries that a data center serves require 24/7 operation of HDDs 365 days a year—there’s nothing worse than downtime. Data centers can install inert gas suppression systems to reduce the risk of downtime due to fire.

This white paper reveals the results of a study on HDD performance and suppression system nozzle acoustics and also provides an acoustic calculator and additional risk mitigation actions.
Find out how to protect your sensitive HDDs and preserve your center’s uptime.
