0F27608 WD Ultrastar DC HC510 10TB SATA 256 MB 3.5" Server HDD

High-Capacity 3.5in Enterprise SATA HDD featuring helium CMR architecture with the 0F27608

The 0F27608 is a WD Ultrastar DC HC510 10TB 3.5in internal enterprise HDD designed for capacity-dense storage tiers where predictable latency and sustained throughput matter more than peak IOPS. As a 7200 RPM SATA drive with 256MB cache, the 0F27608 targets server and storage platforms that prioritise straightforward integration, broad controller compatibility, and consistent sequential performance across large RAID groups.

Built on CMR recording with a 4Kn (4KB native) sector format, the 0F27608 aligns with modern filesystems and object-store stacks that are optimised for larger block sizes and reduced write amplification. The helium-filled mechanical design improves platter efficiency and supports tighter thermal and vibration envelopes in high-bay enclosures, helping the 0F27608 maintain stability in always-on datacenter duty cycles. For security-sensitive deployments, the 0F27608 integrates self-encrypting drive capabilities using hardware AES encryption to support encrypted media handling without host CPU overhead.

Why Choose the 0F27608?

The 0F27608 provides an efficient density-to-bay ratio for capacity-oriented architectures, enabling scalable RAID arrays, backup repositories, and object storage nodes with consistent operational behaviour under 24x7 load. With an enterprise MTBF profile and a power envelope suited to multi-drive chassis, the 0F27608 supports predictable fleet planning, controlled thermals, and simplified lifecycle operations across growing storage pools.

WD engineers the Ultrastar portfolio for datacenter reliability and interoperability, focusing on sustained operation, firmware consistency, and integration readiness with common SATA backplanes and storage controllers. This approach helps align the 0F27608 with modern rack-scale standards where serviceability, power efficiency, and security controls are key design constraints.

Key Applications:

• RAID capacity arrays
• Backup and archive repositories
• Object storage nodes
• Log retention and compliance storage
• General-purpose nearline storage
