HUC101860CS4200 HGST Ultrastar 0B29918 0.6TB SAS 128 MB 2.5" Server HDD

High-Performance 2.5-inch Enterprise SAS HDD for 24/7 Transactional Storage with the HUC101860CS4200

The HUC101860CS4200 is an internal 2.5-inch SAS hard drive engineered for latency-sensitive server storage where predictable IOPS, consistent write behavior, and always-on reliability are mandatory. Built on the HGST Ultrastar C10K1800 platform, it targets general-purpose datacentre tiers as well as dedicated boot, log, and metadata volumes that must remain stable under continuous mixed read/write duty cycles.

With 4Kn native sectors and CMR recording, the HUC101860CS4200 aligns cleanly with modern RAID controllers and filesystems that optimize around 4KB I/O, helping reduce read-modify-write penalties that can affect transactional workloads. The 10,520 RPM spindle and 128MB cache are tuned for steady access patterns in virtualisation hosts and legacy RAID arrays, while the SAS interface supports dual-port enterprise backplanes for resilient paths and serviceable storage architectures.

Why Choose the HUC101860CS4200?

The HUC101860CS4200 provides a balanced density-to-performance profile for SAS disk shelves where operational consistency matters more than peak benchmarks. It is designed for scalable deployments in existing 2.5-inch infrastructures, enabling predictable expansion of tiered storage pools and dependable operation in 24/7 racks without changing controller standards or enclosure topology.

HGST engineering emphasizes enterprise endurance, controlled vibration tolerance, and lifecycle stability for datacentre qualification processes. The Ultrastar design approach aligns with standard SAS management practices and supports secure decommissioning via Instant Secure Erase (ISE), helping administrators maintain policy-driven handling of retired media.

Key Applications:

• Transactional database log and index volumes
• Virtualisation boot and hypervisor datastore tiers
• SAS disk shelves for tiered storage
• Legacy RAID array capacity expansion
• General-purpose 24/7 server storage
