WD Ultrastar Data60 Drive Enclosure Serial ATA - 4U Rack-mountable

Designed for High Density and FlexibilityThe Ultrastar Data60 is a key element of next-generation disaggregated storage and software-defined storage (SDS) systems, delivering high density and the flexibility to balance performance with cost. The Ultrastar Data60 provides up to 720TB of raw storage in a compact and efficient form factor. HGST HelioSeal® drives ensure cool running, quiet operation and high reliability. A high performance data tier can be set up for demanding applications by using SSDs in up to 24 of the drive slots, enabling the ability to serve both fast data and big data from a single platform. Building on 50+ Years of Storage Design ExperienceConventional dense disk shelves frequently suffer from performance degradation due to induced vibration from adjacent drives. Traditional platforms also have cooling challenges as the cooling air passes over successive rows of drives, losing effectiveness as it gets heated up along the airflow path. Developing storage devices and platforms side-by-side, we address these challenges through vertical innovation, a set of technologies developed based on a holistic view of devices, platform, and their interactions. The first two of these patented technologies are IsoVibe™ and ArcticFlow™. IsoVibe reduces vibration-induced performance degradation, while ArcticFlow overcomes the cooling issues by introducing cool air into the middle of the platform. Both these technologies contribute to long-term reliability, enabling our five-year limited warranty on the entire platform. Designed for the Enterprise and the CloudThis new platform addresses the demanding storage needs of large enterprise customers, storage OEMs, cloud service providers and resellers/integrators that require dense, shared HDD or hybrid storage. The Ultrastar Data60 provides the flexibility to specify the HDD and SSD combinations to balance capacity, performance and cost.Product TypeDrive EnclosureTechnical InformationNumber of Hard Drives Supported60Number of Hard Drives Installed12Total Hard Drive Capacity Installed168 TBNumber of Solid State Drive Supported24Number of Solid State Drive Installed0I/O ExpansionsNumber of Total Expansion Bays60Number of 3.5" Bays60Interfaces/PortsDrive InterfaceSerial ATAPhysical CharacteristicsCooling FanYesForm FactorRack-mountableRack Height4UHeight6.9"Width17.6"Depth28"MiscellaneousTAA CompliantNo
