0F31170 WD Ultrastar DC HC530 14TB SATA 512 MB 3.5" Server HDD

High-Density 3.5in Datacenter SATA HDD engineered for secure 24x7 capacity tiers with the 0F31170

The 0F31170 is a WD Ultrastar DC HC530 14TB 3.5in internal datacenter HDD designed for predictable throughput in scale-out storage and capacity-focused server nodes. Using a 7200RPM CMR recording architecture and a 512MB cache, the 0F31170 supports consistent write behavior under sustained ingest, making it suitable for RAID groups, JBOD shelves, and backup repositories where rebuild stability and latency consistency matter.

With a SATA interface and 512e/4Kn sector support, the 0F31170 integrates cleanly into standard backplanes, host bus adapters, and storage controllers while preserving broad OS and hypervisor compatibility. The helium-filled mechanical design targets lower friction and improved acoustic and thermal behavior for dense chassis layouts. For data-at-rest protection, the 0F31170 is a Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) supporting encrypted sanitize and Crypto Erase workflows to simplify secure decommissioning without extended overwrite windows.

Why Choose the 0F31170?

The 0F31170 provides a balanced density-to-power profile for always-on datacenter tiers, enabling higher capacity per rack unit without forcing an all-flash cost model. With an enterprise reliability target of 2.5M hours MTBF and 24x7 duty-cycle operation, the 0F31170 is engineered for scalable fleets where consistent behavior, service predictability, and secure lifecycle handling are operational requirements.

WD designs Ultrastar platforms around workload-aligned mechanics, firmware tuning for array environments, and validation against modern storage standards. This approach helps the drive maintain steady performance characteristics under common datacenter patterns such as sequential backup streams, large object repositories, and multi-disk RAID rebuild events.

Key Applications:

• RAID arrays and JBOD expansion shelves
• Backup and archive repositories
• Scale-out object and content storage
• Virtualization and private cloud capacity tiers
• Security-focused data retention with SED compliance
