0F62784 WD Ultrastar DC HC580 22TB SATA 512 MB 3.5" Server HDD

High-Capacity 3.5in SATA Data Center HDD for scale-out storage architecture with the 0F62784

The 0F62784 is a WD Ultrastar DC HC580 22TB internal data center HDD engineered for dense capacity expansion in rack servers, JBOD shelves, and scale-out storage nodes where cost-per-TB and predictable latency are priorities. Integrated into a SATA storage tier, the 0F62784 supports 4Kn media with 512e emulation to simplify deployment across mixed operating system and HBA environments while maintaining modern sector alignment for large-block workloads.

Built on a 7200 RPM CMR design enhanced with EAMR, the 0F62784 targets sustained sequential throughput and steady-state behavior in object storage pools and warm/cold tiers. A 512MB cache helps absorb bursty metadata activity, while the helium-filled mechanical architecture reduces turbulence to improve efficiency and head stability at high areal density. For enterprise continuity, the 0F62784 aligns with 24x7 operation profiles and supports Power-Loss Protection design considerations in server and enclosure platforms.

Why Choose the 0F62784?

The 0F62784 is designed for organizations scaling capacity without re-architecting bays, backplanes, or SATA domains, delivering a strong density-to-power profile for high-bay-count systems. By combining large capacity with enterprise reliability and self-encrypting drive controls, the 0F62784 fits regulated environments that need consistent fleet behavior, lifecycle planning, and straightforward expansion across distributed storage clusters.

WD’s Ultrastar engineering prioritizes predictable data center operation through rigorous validation, firmware tuned for multi-drive environments, and designs aligned with modern enclosure thermals and vibration characteristics. This approach supports standardized deployment across storage tiers while maintaining serviceability expectations in enterprise operations.

Key Applications:

• JBOD capacity expansion
• Scale-out object storage
• Cold and warm data tiers
• Backup and archive repositories
