0B40326 WD Ultrastar DC SS530 960GB SAS 2.5" Server SSD

Enterprise 2.5in SAS Datacenter SSD with hardware encryption and hot-swap serviceability using the 0B40326

The 0B40326 is a WD Ultrastar DC SS530 960GB 2.5in SAS SSD engineered for primary storage paths in rack servers and SAN arrays where predictable latency and continuous duty cycles are mandatory. Built on TLC NAND and optimized for mixed read/write behavior, the 0B40326 supports virtualization datastore consolidation, database caching, and 24x7 boot and tiering without introducing consumer-grade write amplification risks.

Using a SAS interface for dual-path enterprise backplanes, the 0B40326 integrates cleanly into hot-swap bays to reduce maintenance windows and enable service operations under load. Power Loss Protection helps preserve in-flight data during unexpected outages, while 256-bit AES self-encrypting drive capability with Instant Secure Erase (ISE) supports rapid decommissioning workflows and secure repurposing. With 1 DWPD endurance over 5 years and high MTBF targets, the 0B40326 is aligned to sustained I/O profiles rather than burst-only performance.

Why Choose the 0B40326?

The 0B40326 delivers a balanced density-to-performance profile for enterprise platforms standardizing on 2.5in SAS hot-swap media, allowing scalable node and shelf expansion without redesigning storage topology. For IT teams, the 0B40326 simplifies operational control through integrated SED security and consistent behavior under mixed workloads, supporting reliable deployment in clustered hosts and shared storage environments.

WD designs Ultrastar datacenter SSDs with an engineering focus on controlled latency, firmware validation for 24x7 operation, and features that align with modern data center security and lifecycle standards. The 0B40326 reflects this approach through enterprise SAS integration, resilience mechanisms, and secure erase capabilities suited to governed environments.
