0B36047 WD Ultrastar DC HC310 6TB SAS 256 MB 3.5" Server HDD

High-Performance 3.5in Enterprise SAS HDD for Capacity Tiers and RAID Arrays with the 0B36047

The 0B36047 is a 6TB WD Ultrastar DC HC310 enterprise hard drive engineered for predictable throughput and 24x7 duty cycles in server bulk storage. Designed around CMR recording and 7200 RPM mechanics, the 0B36047 sustains consistent write behavior under RAID rebuilds and mixed workloads where shingled technologies can introduce latency variability.

With a 12Gb/s SAS interface, the 0B36047 integrates cleanly into dual-path storage fabrics and multi-initiator backplanes, supporting resilient, serviceable architectures in scale-out nodes. The 4Kn sector format with 512e emulation provides alignment flexibility for modern operating systems and controllers while easing legacy integration. A 256MB cache helps absorb bursty I/O, keeping queue depths stable during metadata-heavy operations and large sequential transfers typical of capacity tiers.

Why Choose the 0B36047?

The 0B36047 delivers an efficient density-to-performance balance for enterprises building cost-controlled capacity layers without compromising operational stability. Its enterprise SAS design supports scalable RAID sets, consistent behavior during rebuild and scrub cycles, and reliable integration into standardized storage shelves and server platforms where uptime, firmware maturity, and predictable service patterns are required.

WD designs Ultrastar platforms with a focus on data center reliability, lifecycle consistency, and integration with modern storage standards. The 0B36047 aligns with enterprise operational requirements through long-life duty cycle engineering, robust error handling for RAID environments, and security features such as SED hardware encryption and Secure Erase support to meet controlled decommissioning and compliance workflows.

Key Applications:

• Capacity tiers for servers and storage appliances
• RAID arrays and rebuild-intensive environments
• Scale-out storage nodes
• Backup repositories and archive pools
• Virtualization datastore capacity expansion
