Western Digital Ultrastar Data60 480 TB 4U Enterprise Storage Platform

The Western Digital Ultrastar Data60 480TB 4U Enterprise Storage Platform provides 480 TB of capacity for server and enterprise storage workloads. Its 4U rack-mounted format places that capacity in a high-density enclosure. Data centres and cloud service providers are among its intended deployment environments. The platform is designed for organisations that need scalable storage for enterprise applications. Its focus is capacity within a rack-based storage installation, rather than a standalone desktop drive.

This hybrid storage platform is intended for continuous 24/7 operation, matching the operating schedule of always-on enterprise environments. Hot-swappable drives allow individual drives to be replaced without shutting down the system. That capability is relevant when drive maintenance must take place while the platform remains running. The enclosure brings drive storage together in a single rack-mounted unit. Its continuous-operation design and serviceable drive arrangement address ongoing storage availability and routine hardware replacement.

• 3.5-inch drive format: designed to accommodate this drive size.
