Western Digital Ultrastar Data102 SE4U102-102 4U Storage Enclosure

The Western Digital Ultrastar Data102 4U Storage Enclosure houses up to 102 drives in an enterprise rackmount format. It functions as a JBOD storage enclosure, providing a platform for expanding storage capacity in data centres. SAS connectivity is rated at 12 Gb/s, making the interface specification a key consideration when matching the enclosure to storage infrastructure. Its intended applications include cloud services, software-defined storage, and disaggregated storage systems. The combination of drive density and rack format suits deployments that need to accommodate many drives within a single enclosure.

Hot-swappable drive support allows drives to be replaced without shutting down the enclosure. Support for continuous 24/7 operation matches the requirements of storage environments that remain online around the clock. The chassis measures 1,047 mm deep, an important consideration when checking rack clearance. Its width is 447 mm, and its height is 175 mm. These measurements provide concrete reference points for planning installation within an existing equipment rack.

• 1,428,000 GB listed storage capacity provides a reference for capacity planning.
• 3.5-inch HDD format specifies the physical drive size.
• 7,200 RPM listed HDD speed identifies the rotational specification.
• SMART support enables drive-health monitoring.
• 1,600 W active power consumption is relevant to electrical provisioning.
