WD Ultrastar DC HC580 24TB 7.2K SAS Enterprise Hard DriveModel: WUH722424AL5204 | Part Number: 0F62802 | 7,200 RPM | SAS 12Gb/s | 512MB Cache

The Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC580 is the pinnacle of high-density enterprise storage. Featuring a massive 24TB capacity, this drive utilizes Western Digital's 10-disk platform and OptiNAND™ technology to deliver unprecedented storage efficiency. Operating on a 12Gb/s SAS interface with a staggering 512MB cache, the HC580 is designed for the world’s most demanding hyperscale data centers, cloud environments, and massive backup repositories where "capacity per rack" is the most important metric.

📊 Technical Specifications

• Capacity: 💾 24 TB

• Interface: ⚡ SAS 12Gb/s (Dual Port)

• Spindle Speed: 🏎️ 7,200 RPM

• Cache: 🧠 512 MB (OptiNAND™ Enhanced)

✅ Why This Drive Rocks

• Condition: ✨ Refurbished - Excellent. Professionally audited and health-verified. Every drive is secure-erased and stress-tested to ensure the helium seal and mechanical components meet original factory specifications for high-density storage.

• OptiNAND™ Technology: Integrates an iNAND® Universal Flash Storage (UFS) drive with traditional spinning media. This allows the drive to handle metadata more efficiently, increasing both capacity and performance during write operations.

• HelioSeal® Technology: The 10th generation helium-filled design reduces internal turbulence, allowing for more platters in a standard 3.5" form factor while significantly lowering power consumption and heat output.

• Extreme Reliability: A 2.5M hour MTBF and a high workload rating make this one of the most durable drives on the planet, built for 24/7/365 availability.

• 256MB/512MB Performance: With one of the largest caches in the industry, this drive minimizes data bottlenecks even when handling massive file transfers or parity-heavy RAID environments.

📦 Compatibility & Use Case

• Target Systems: Designed for modern Enterprise Servers (Dell Gen 14/15/16, HPE Gen 10/11) and JBOD/Cloud Expansion units.

• Ideal Workloads: Hyperscale cloud storage, massive video surveillance archives, Big Data analytics, and Tier-2 backup repositories.

• Controller Note: ⚠️ Important: This is a SAS drive. It requires a SAS-capable backplane and controller. Ensure your hardware supports 24TB capacity (modern 12G/24G controllers).
