WD Ultrastar DC HC330 WUS721010AL5204 10 TB

WUS721010AL5204

High-capacity internal (embedded) server-class air-filled hard drive with a capacity of 10,000 GB (10 TB) and a high-performance SAS interface. Belongs to the 2020 Ultrastar DC HC330 family of HDD drives. This line includes five 10 TB models with SAS/SATA3 interfaces, designed for intensive 24/7 operation in mission-critical enterprise storage systems and data centers. Can be effectively used in simple and complex RAID arrays of any level.

It is distinguished by a moderate price (compared to models with a helium-filled working chamber) and an improved cache memory architecture, the volume of which is 256 MB. Compared to consumer models, the WD Ultrastar DC HC330 WUS721010AL5204 hard drive claims to have a significantly lower failure rate and a much longer lifespan (workloads up to 550 TB/year over 5 years). The design and firmware of this model are optimized for operation in multi-disk cages. Due to its reliability and ability to work for a long time under high load, such a drive will be a good choice for equipping high-end workstations (with a redundant disk subsystem on server hardware). This drive uses the classic high-speed magnetic CMR recording method and platters spinning at 7200 rpm, which allows for high linear read speeds of up to 273 MB/s.
