0F31052 WD Ultrastar DC HC530 14TB SAS 512 MB 3.5" Server HDD

High-Density 3.5in SAS Enterprise HDD for Datacenter Capacity Tiers with the 0F31052

The 0F31052 is a WD Ultrastar DC HC530 14TB internal 3.5in SAS hard drive engineered for predictable, always-on capacity in modern data centre storage stacks. It targets HDD-based primary capacity tiers, backup, and archive repositories where sustained throughput, consistent latency under sequential workloads, and controlled rebuild behaviour are essential.

Built on a helium-filled platform for 24x7 duty cycles, the 0F31052 aligns with scale-out nodes that use SAS backplanes for dense drive populations and serviceable bays. CMR recording and a 7200 RPM spindle with 512MB cache support stable performance characteristics across RAID groups, while 4Kn formatting with 512e emulation eases integration with legacy hosts and mixed-sector environments. The SAS interface provides deterministic enterprise signalling for multi-drive enclosures, and the Secure Erase capability supports decommissioning workflows in regulated operations.

Why Choose the 0F31052?

The 0F31052 delivers an efficient density-to-performance ratio for bulk storage pools, combining high per-drive capacity with enterprise reliability metrics suitable for continuous operation. It is well suited to scalable deployment patterns: populate object/file storage nodes, expand RAID shelves incrementally, or standardise a capacity SKU across multiple tiers to simplify sparing, lifecycle management, and fleet telemetry.

WD designs Ultrastar datacenter drives with a focus on controlled vibration tolerance, consistent media behaviour, and long service life in high-density enclosures. The 0F31052 reflects that engineering approach through a platform optimised for sustained operation, predictable capacity delivery, and alignment with contemporary storage standards used across enterprise racks and storage fabrics.

Key Applications:

• HDD-based capacity tiers in hybrid arrays
• Backup repositories and archive pools
• Scale-out object storage nodes
• Scale-out file storage nodes
• Enterprise RAID capacity shelves
