0F31283 WD Ultrastar DC HC530 14TB SATA 512 MB 3.5" Server HDD

High-Capacity 3.5in Enterprise SATA HDD for Nearline and Bulk Storage with 0F31283

The 0F31283 is a WD Ultrastar DC HC530 14TB 3.5in internal enterprise HDD designed for capacity-optimized tiers where predictable throughput, consistent latency under queue depth, and continuous duty cycles matter more than peak IOPS. Built around a 7200 RPM CMR recording platform, it supports sustained sequential workloads typical of backup repositories, archive vaults, and nearline data lakes while maintaining stable performance characteristics in multi-drive arrays.

For systems engineers planning storage expansion, 0F31283 integrates via single-port SATA and a 512e sector format to streamline interoperability with common RAID controllers, JBOD enclosures, and scale-out storage nodes. The 512MB cache improves burst handling and metadata-heavy operations, while the helium-filled mechanical design targets lower drag and improved operational efficiency in dense chassis. Security requirements are addressed with SED hardware encryption and Encrypted Sanitize/Crypto Erase capabilities to support controlled decommissioning and compliance-aligned data handling.

Why Choose the 0F31283?

The 0F31283 provides a practical density-to-footprint profile for 3.5in bays, enabling higher usable capacity per node without shifting to new backplanes or fabric. With enterprise reliability targets and a 24/7 duty-cycle rating, 0F31283 supports scalable growth in NAS/SAN tiering, object/file stores, and bulk arrays where operational continuity and predictable replacement planning are mandatory.

WD designs Ultrastar enterprise HDDs with an engineering focus on long service life, consistent behavior in multi-drive environments, and compatibility with modern data center operational standards, including secure lifecycle management and deployment in always-on storage platforms.

Key Applications:

• Backup and archive repositories
• Nearline data lakes
• Scale-out object storage
• Scale-out file storage
• NAS/SAN capacity tiering
