Western Digital SE4U102-60 360 TB JBOD Storage Enclosure

The Western Digital 360 TB JBOD Storage Enclosure provides large-scale storage capacity for enterprise systems. Its stated total capacity is 360 TB in the supplied configuration. The enclosure serves as a centralised way to add storage to a compatible system. It is intended for organisations handling data-intensive workloads rather than for individual desktop storage. Capacity is the defining specification here, with the product positioned as an enclosure for expanding an existing storage environment.

The listed configuration supports expansion to a maximum of 102 drives. This leaves room to increase the drive count beyond the supplied configuration. The expansion limit describes the number of supported drives, not a stated maximum capacity in terabytes. Data-centre storage is an explicitly listed application for the enclosure. For purchasing purposes, the supplied capacity and the supported drive-count limit are separate specifications: one describes the configuration provided, while the other defines its listed expansion scope.

• 60 hard drives supplied in the listed configuration.
• 3.5-inch drive format identifies the physical size of the installed drives.
• SATA interface specifies the connection standard used by the drives.
• HDD-based storage uses hard disks rather than solid-state drives.
• External enclosure format is distinct from an internal storage component.
