0B32285 HGST Ultrastar SSD1600MR 1.6TB Server SSD

Enterprise Hot-Swap SED SSD for Mixed Workloads and Tiering with the 0B32285

The 0B32285 is an HGST Ultrastar SSD1600MR 1.6TB enterprise SSD designed for read-centric caching, tiering, and low-latency acceleration in server storage stacks. Built on MLC NAND, it targets predictable QoS under mixed workloads where random read responsiveness is the primary constraint for databases, VMs, and shared infrastructure services.

In modern rack servers and storage nodes, the 0B32285 aligns with high-queue-depth workloads by delivering up to 1100 MB/s sequential read and strong 4K random read capability up to 130k IOPS, while keeping write behavior controlled for read-dominant duty cycles. Hot-swap support enables serviceability in 24/7 environments, and the 5800 TBW endurance profile supports sustained caching and tiering roles without frequent replacement. For regulated deployments, the 0B32285 integrates SED functionality with 256-bit AES and TCG Enterprise features, enabling policy-based data-at-rest protection without host CPU overhead.

Why Choose the 0B32285?

The 0B32285 provides a practical density-to-performance ratio for accelerating latency-sensitive tiers while maintaining enterprise reliability expectations. It is positioned for scalable rollouts in clustered compute and virtualization platforms where consistent read latency, predictable endurance, and hot-swap maintenance windows matter more than peak write throughput.

HGST engineering emphasizes continuous-operation reliability, validated firmware behavior, and data centre-aligned integration. With a 2,000,000-hour MTBF target and security features designed for enterprise key management workflows, the platform supports standardized storage governance across multi-tenant infrastructure.

Key Applications:

• Read-centric caching and tiering
• Database random read acceleration
• VM and VDI storage latency reduction
• Security-compliant data-at-rest deployments
