The Western Digital DC HC530 is a 14TB enterprise-class hard drive built for demanding NAS, server, and storage array workloads. With a 550TB/year workload rating, 512MB cache buffer, and CMR recording technology, it delivers the reliability and sustained throughput that homelab and data center environments require. This is a SAS 12Gb/s drive and requires a SAS host bus adapter, RAID controller or SAS backplane, making integration straightforward in most platforms.
Condition
This drive is in used, tested condition. Each unit has been individually tested prior to listing:
- SMART long self-test: Passed
- Reallocated sectors (SMART attribute 5): 0 — no bad sectors remapped
- Power-On Hours: approximately 30,000 hours (typical for a drive that has been in continuous datacenter service)
Zero reallocated sectors is the most important health indicator for a spinning drive. These units show clean SMART data and passed full long-test without errors. Cosmetic wear may be present on the drive chassis; this does not affect function.
Compatibility
Compatible with enterprise servers, JBODs and storage arrays that provide a 3.5-inch SAS bay and a SAS controller or backplane, such as Dell PowerEdge, HPE ProLiant and Supermicro platforms, and TrueNAS or Unraid builds with an LSI/Broadcom HBA. Not compatible with SATA-only ports or consumer NAS enclosures such as Synology or QNAP without a SAS controller. Verify your enclosure supports drives above 8TB before purchasing.
