Capacity and workload fit

The Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC590 delivers 26TB on a 3.5-inch SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. Its CMR recording method and 512MB cache suit servers and storage arrays that need sustained write throughput. The drive is rated for 550TB per year and a 2.5M-hour MTBF, targeting workloads that exceed typical desktop limits.

Build and mounting

An 11-disk helium platform keeps the 26TB capacity inside the standard 3.5-inch footprint. Hot-swap support means the drive can be inserted or removed from compatible backplanes without powering down the enclosure. The SATA 6.0Gb/s connector follows the familiar data and power pinout used in rackmount chassis and external drive bays.

Included extras

Retail or OEM packaging may vary, so the box contents are not guaranteed beyond the drive itself. No additional cables, mounting rails or management software are specified by the manufacturer. Buyers should verify accessory requirements with their enclosure or controller vendor before installation.

Questions about this item

What practical throughput does the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface limit this 26TB drive to?

The SATA 6.0Gb/s link caps sustained transfers at roughly 600 MB/s, so the 7200 rpm 26TB drive will hit that ceiling on sequential reads and writes.

What physical clearance does the 3.5-inch 11-disk HC590 need in a server chassis?

The 3.5-inch form factor with 11 internal disks fits standard 3.5-inch hot-swap bays; ensure the chassis supports 26TB CMR drives and provides adequate airflow for 550 TB/year workloads.

How is the 0F65672 installed in a hot-swap bay, and what step is often missed?

Slide the drive into the bay until the SATA connector seats firmly, then secure the latch; the step often missed is verifying the carrier key aligns so the drive reports 26TB to the controller.
