0B32282 WD Ultrastar SSD1600MR 500GB SAS 2.5" Server SSD

High-Performance 2.5-inch Enterprise SAS SSD for Read-Intensive Data Paths with the 0B32282

The 0B32282 is a 2.5-inch WD Ultrastar SSD1600MR built for enterprise SAS backplanes where predictable latency, hot-swap serviceability, and controller-managed queues are required for 24x7 operations. As a read-optimised SSD, it is suited to accelerating database read tiers and caching layers while sustaining consistent behaviour under mixed virtualization access patterns.

Architecturally, the 0B32282 leverages MLC NAND to balance endurance and steady-state performance, supporting up to 1100 MB/s sequential read and strong 4K random read capability for metadata-heavy workloads. The SAS interface enables dual-port paths in compatible storage enclosures, improving availability and simplifying multipath designs compared to single-path device topologies. With 500GB capacity, the 0B32282 integrates cleanly into mirrored boot pools, dedicated log volumes, or dense hot tiers where slot efficiency matters more than bulk capacity.

Why Choose the 0B32282?

The 0B32282 provides a pragmatic density-to-performance profile for read-centric services, combining hot-swap readiness with enterprise endurance for sustained duty cycles. It supports scalable deployment patterns in server and storage nodes by aligning predictable SAS behaviour, steady IOPS delivery, and long-life write tolerance with operational requirements such as maintenance windows, fault isolation, and capacity right-sizing.

WD engineers the Ultrastar line around datacenter reliability targets, focusing on consistent firmware behaviour, qualification for enterprise chassis environments, and long-term platform compatibility. The result is a drive designed to integrate with modern server storage standards while maintaining stable operation across continuous workloads.

Key Applications:

• Read-intensive database acceleration
• Caching and hot-tier storage
• Virtualization boot and datastore pools
• 24x7 server and storage nodes
• Encrypted data-at-rest deployments
