Enterprise 12 TB SAS drive
The Western Digital Ultrastar HC520 is a 12 TB internal hard drive built for enterprise storage arrays and data centres. Its 7200 RPM spindle and SAS interface deliver the throughput needed for cloud repositories, big-data workloads and high-capacity archiving.
Sustained workload behaviour
A helium-sealed design reduces internal turbulence, lowering power draw per terabyte by 54 % compared with 8 TB air-filled drives. Rotational-vibration safeguards and 256 MB cache keep sequential performance stable during long write streams and heavy multi-user access.
Build quality and connectivity
The 3.5-inch form factor fits standard drive bays and backplanes using a SAS connector. PMR recording on a field-proven fourth-generation platform adds 25 % more reliability, while the sealed helium chassis improves thermal consistency in dense rack deployments.

Otázky k tomuto produktu
How much heat does the 12TB 7200RPM SAS drive generate when running continuously?
The helium-sealed design reduces power consumption, delivering industry-leading power efficiency with 54% better watts-per-terabyte versus 8TB air drives.
What controller or backplane is needed to connect this SAS-12Gbps drive?
A 12Gbps SAS host bus adapter, RAID controller, or compatible backplane with SAS connectors is required for full-speed operation.
Will the HC520 work in a chassis built for earlier 3.5-inch enterprise drives?
Yes, it uses the standard 3.5-inch form factor and SAS interface, so it fits existing drive bays and caddies designed for previous-generation enterprise HDDs.
