Western Digital Ultrastar Data102 SE4U102-60 4U 102-Bay Storage Enclosure, 360 TB, 12 Gb/s SAS

The Western Digital Ultrastar Data102 is an enterprise storage enclosure offering up to 360 TB of installed raw storage capacity. It is intended for organisations building or expanding storage systems in a data centre. The capacity figure describes raw storage rather than a stated usable capacity for a particular configuration. This is a rack-mounted enclosure, not an individual drive for installation inside a computer. Its primary role is to provide high-density storage connected to a host system.

The enclosure supports configurations that combine hard disk drives and solid-state drives. That support allows both storage types within the same platform rather than restricting configurations to one drive technology. Software-defined storage is among its stated deployment environments. The rack-oriented design makes enclosure size a relevant consideration when planning an installation. At just over one metre deep, it warrants checking the available rack space before selecting it for an existing data centre layout.

• 4U form factor: occupies four rack units.
• 102 drive bays: provides a high-density enclosure layout.
• 12 Gb/s SAS interface: connects the enclosure to a host system.
• 447.04 mm enclosure width: a physical measurement for installation planning.
• 175.26 mm enclosure height: specifies the chassis height.
