HUS726T6TAL4204 WD Ultrastar DC HC310 6TB SAS 256 MB 3.5" Server HDD

High-Density 3.5in Datacenter SAS HDD for RAID Arrays and Capacity Tiers with the HUS726T6TAL4204

The HUS726T6TAL4204 is a 3.5in internal enterprise HDD engineered for 24/7 datacenter storage nodes, providing predictable performance and sustained write behavior for large RAID pools. In server platforms where CPU and GPU resources are allocated to virtualization, analytics, or AI pipelines, the HUS726T6TAL4204 complements compute with dependable bulk capacity and consistent latency characteristics under concurrent I/O.

Designed around a single-port SAS attach, the HUS726T6TAL4204 fits cleanly into standard 12Gb/s backplanes and expander architectures, enabling dense scale-out shelves without consuming additional PCIe lanes for NVMe. Native 4Kn sector formatting aligns with modern filesystems and RAID controllers to reduce write amplification and improve efficiency in capacity tiers. With CMR recording, 7200 RPM operation, and a 256MB cache, the HUS726T6TAL4204 supports steady rebuilds and sequential throughput profiles required in enterprise backup and bulk storage designs.

Why Choose the HUS726T6TAL4204?

The HUS726T6TAL4204 delivers a balanced density-to-performance profile for SAS-based server and array deployments where operational continuity matters. Its 4Kn native format and CMR media behavior simplify predictable RAID planning, while enterprise reliability targets such as 2.0M hours MTBF help standardize fleet-wide storage tiers and scaling practices across racks and sites.

WD engineers Ultrastar-class drives with an emphasis on sustained duty cycles, controlled firmware behavior, and integration into common datacenter maintenance workflows. The platform is aligned to modern enclosure standards and serviceability expectations for large-volume storage infrastructure.

Key Applications:

• RAID arrays with 4Kn support
• Enterprise backup repositories
• Bulk capacity tiers in SDS clusters
• Archive and compliance storage
• Scale-out file and object storage
