The Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC520 12TB 7.2K RPM SATA-6GBPS 256MB Buffer 512E ISE 3.5Inch Helium Platform Enterprise Hard Drive (part number 0F29595) is a high-performance, high-capacity hard drive designed for use in enterprise storage systems.
It has a storage capacity of 12 terabytes, which makes it suitable for storing large amounts of data. It also has a rotation speed of 7200 RPM, which is faster than the typical 5400 RPM found in most consumer-grade hard drives. This allows for faster access to stored data and improved overall system performance.
It uses the SATA 6 Gbps interface, which allows for fast data transfer rates up to 6 Gbps. The 256MB buffer also increases the data transfer speed and improves the overall performance of the hard drive.
The 3.5-inch form factor makes it compatible with most standard enterprise storage systems. The drive features 512E ISE technology, which provides a 512-byte sector size to enable larger drive capacities and improved performance.
The drive is built with the Helium Platform which is a technology that reduces the air pressure inside the drive which results in less power consumption, less heat, and less noise.
This hard drive is suitable for use in data centers, cloud storage, RAID systems, and other high-performance storage applications.
Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) 6GBPSSerial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) is an interface used to connect storage devices, such as hard drives and solid-state drives (SSDs), to a computer's motherboard. SATA 6 Gbps (also known as SATA III) is the third generation of the SATA interface, and it offers faster data transfer speeds than its predecessors, SATA 1.5 Gbps and SATA 3 Gbps. The maximum data transfer rate for SATA 6 Gbps is 6 gigabits per second (Gbps), which is roughly equivalent to 750 megabytes per second (MB/s). This allows for faster access to stored data and improved overall system performance. SATA 6 Gbps is backward compatible with SATA 3 Gbps and SATA 1.5 Gbps, meaning that it can be used with older storage devices, although they will operate at the slower speeds. Additionally, SATA 6 Gbps interface is hot-swappable, which means that storage devices can be replaced or added while the system is still running.
CompatibilityThe Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC520 12TB 7.2K RPM SATA-6GBPS 256MB Buffer 512E ISE 3.5Inch Helium Platform Enterprise Hard Drive (part number 0F29595) is compatible with any system that has a SATA 6 Gbps interface and can accommodate a 3.5-inch form factor hard drive. This includes most enterprise storage systems, servers, and desktop computers.
It is designed for enterprise use, which means it is built to handle heavy workloads and 24/7 operation, so it may not be compatible with some consumer motherboards that lack the power connectors or other features that an enterprise server would have.
The compatibility of the Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC520 12TB 7.2K RPM SATA-6GBPS 256MB Buffer 512E ISE 3.5Inch Helium Platform Enterprise Hard Drive is determined by the interface and form factor of the drive, as well as the features and specifications of the system it is being used with.
