0B34898 WD Ultrastar DC SS300 1.92TB SAS 2.5" Server SSD

Enterprise 2.5in SAS Hot-Swap Datacenter SSD with Self-Encrypting Security using the 0B34898

The 0B34898 is a WD Ultrastar DC SS300 enterprise SAS SSD engineered for server and RAID-array tiers that require predictable latency and secure data handling. Designed for 24/7 duty cycles, the 0B34898 aligns with modern dual-controller storage and clustered compute platforms where consistent random I/O behavior is more critical than peak sequential bursts.

Built on TLC NAND with enterprise firmware, the 0B34898 targets mixed read/write database and VMware-style virtualization profiles, supported by power-loss protection to preserve in-flight data during unexpected outages. Its 2.5in hot-swap SAS form factor and SAS backplane compatibility simplify serviceability in dense rack deployments, while the SAS interface enables robust multipath and queue-depth scaling across RAID HBAs and storage controllers. The 0B34898 also integrates hardware AES security, allowing encryption to remain always-on without host CPU overhead.

Why Choose the 0B34898?

The 0B34898 delivers a practical density-to-performance balance for enterprise SSD tiers where uptime, controlled write endurance, and operational consistency matter. With hot-swap service design, power-loss resilience, and controller-friendly SAS characteristics, the 0B34898 supports scalable deployment across homogeneous drive pools, reducing qualification effort and simplifying lifecycle management in production racks.

WD designs the Ultrastar portfolio with a focus on datacenter qualification, sustained workload stability, and standards-aligned integration for server, RAID, and storage subsystems. This engineering approach prioritizes predictable behavior under contention, robust telemetry, and enterprise reliability models suited to continuous operation.
