0B32297 WD Ultrastar SSD1600MR 1.92TB SAS 2.5" Server SSD

High-Performance 2.5in SAS Datacenter SSD for Secure Boot and Read-Optimized Tiers with the 0B32297

The 0B32297 is a WD Ultrastar SSD1600MR engineered for server boot volumes and read cache roles where consistent latency and predictable service levels matter more than peak write burst. Using enterprise MLC NAND and a SAS interface in a 2.5in hot-swap form factor, it integrates cleanly into existing dual-port SAS backplanes for high-availability architectures.

With throughput up to 1100 MB/s read and 700 MB/s write and strong 4K read IOPS, the 0B32297 supports metadata-intensive platforms, OS images, and read-optimized tiers in hybrid and all-flash arrays. Endurance is aligned to sustained enterprise duty cycles, while power characteristics help maintain thermal headroom in dense chassis. For secure environments, the 0B32297 implements self-encrypting drive capabilities with AES-256 and TCG Enterprise, enabling at-rest encryption without relying on host CPU cycles or software-based key handling.

Why Choose the 0B32297?

The 0B32297 delivers a balanced density-to-performance profile for SAS-based infrastructure standardization, pairing hot-swap serviceability with enterprise reliability targets such as 24x7 operation and 2.0M hours MTBF. It scales efficiently in mixed storage pools, supports predictable deployment in clustered servers, and provides security controls that simplify compliance-driven rollouts.

WD’s Ultrastar engineering focuses on datacenter qualification, firmware consistency, and lifecycle stability to support long service windows. The platform is designed for integration into modern storage stacks with clear reliability metrics, controlled power behavior, and security features aligned with enterprise governance requirements.

Key Applications:

• Server boot and OS volumes
• Read cache and metadata acceleration
• SAS SSD tiering in hybrid arrays
• Secure at-rest encrypted storage domains
