0B36410 WD Ultrastar DC HC320 8TB SATA 256 MB 3.5" Server HDD

High-Density 3.5-inch SATA Enterprise HDD for 24x7 Server and JBOD Storage with the 0B36410

The 0B36410 is an 8TB WD Ultrastar DC HC320 enterprise HDD engineered for predictable throughput and sustained duty cycles in rack servers, storage nodes, and SATA JBOD enclosures. Built on a 7200RPM CMR platform with 512e sector formatting, the 0B36410 supports consistent write behavior for capacity tiers where cost-optimized local disk remains operationally efficient.

Architecturally, the 0B36410 complements modern CPU platforms by providing a stable, high-capacity SATA tier alongside NVMe or SAS, offloading bulk datasets, backups, and warm content from higher-cost PCIe storage. A 256MB cache and Dual Stage Actuator positioning improve command responsiveness under mixed IO, while the 3.5-inch form factor simplifies density planning across standard hot-swap bays. For security-aligned environments, the 0B36410 integrates Self-Encrypting Drive capability with TCG Enterprise support, enabling hardware-based encryption workflows without relying on host CPU cycles.

Why Choose the 0B36410?

The 0B36410 is a pragmatic choice when you need high capacity per drive slot, deterministic CMR behavior, and enterprise reliability for 24x7 fleets. It scales cleanly in RAID groups and storage pools, supports consistent operations in multi-drive chassis, and provides a balanced density-to-performance profile for bulk storage tiers in distributed and centralized architectures.

WD designs Ultrastar enterprise drives around service life predictability, platform compatibility, and data-centre operational discipline. With engineering focused on vibration-tolerant mechanics, controlled firmware behavior, and long-life components, the drive aligns with standard server backplanes and SATA storage topologies used in enterprise deployments.

Key Applications:

• Server and JBOD capacity tiers
• Backup and archive repositories
• Virtualization local HDD pools
• General-purpose bulk storage
