WD 0B36040 - Ultrastar 4 TB SSD, 3.5 Zoll, SATA

Medium Capacity Drives

The Ultrastar DC HC300 series offers low to medium capacity drives that are cost-effective to purchase while still providing fast and reliable data access for traditional data center applications.

Economic capacities and fast data access are the primary requirements for HDDs in the data center. IT managers need to offer storage tiers when providing suitable solutions for their on-prem, off-prem, and cloud storage needs. While helium-filled drives enable the highest capacities, air-filled drives offer significant advantages. With lower total costs, legacy options, and higher access density, they are the perfect choice to maintain the desired performance level while adapting customer budgets to their needs.

The Ultrastar DC HC300 series meets the requirements of data centers by providing capacities ranging from 4 TB to 10 TB while enhancing performance compared to previous generations. They are designed for a variety of applications, including traditional storage arrays, rack-mounted storage enclosures, and server-based distributed storage systems, as well as distributed and scalable computing, including block and file storage architectures. They are available with 7,200 RPM and either a 6 Gb/s SATA or a 12 Gb/s SAS interface in Advanced Format 4Kn and 512e format. A 512n option is also available for the 4 TB models to support older systems with native 512-byte block sizes.

Technological innovation provides efficiency and performance for both conventional and legacy systems. The Ultrastar DC HC300 series is based on a proven and cost-effective air-based HDD platform design utilizing Conventional Magnetic Recording technology.
