WUH722222ALE6L4 WD Ultrastar DC HC570 22TB SATA 512 MB 3.5" Server HDD

High-Density 3.5in Enterprise SATA HDD for Scale-Out Storage Architecture with the WUH722222ALE6L4

The WUH722222ALE6L4 is a 22TB 3.5in internal enterprise HDD engineered for capacity-centric server platforms where compute nodes, storage servers, and JBOD shelves require predictable, sustained throughput without sacrificing bay density. In typical x86 rack servers, the WUH722222ALE6L4 complements modern CPU generations by keeping large datasets close to applications while freeing PCIe lanes and slots for network, GPU, or NVMe acceleration where it matters.

Using a SATA single-port interface, the WUH722222ALE6L4 fits standard backplanes and HBA/RAID architectures, enabling straightforward expansion across multi-bay chassis. Its CMR media with EAMR assist and 512e formatting supports consistent write behavior for long retention sets, while 7200RPM operation and a 512MB cache help stabilize performance in mixed read/write patterns. Helium-filled mechanics and Secure Erase (SE) align the drive with 24x7 data center duty cycles and controlled decommissioning workflows.

Why Choose the WUH722222ALE6L4?

The WUH722222ALE6L4 delivers a practical density-to-performance profile for scale-out environments where cost-efficient capacity, predictable write characteristics, and operational resilience are primary design goals. Deployed in storage nodes or general-purpose server bays, it supports incremental scaling, consistent fleet behavior, and serviceability within established SATA ecosystems.

WD engineers Ultrastar platforms for enterprise reliability with a focus on vibration-tolerant mechanics, rigorous qualification, and alignment to modern rack and enclosure standards. This approach supports consistent integration across mixed server generations and sustained operation in always-on data center conditions.
