Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC330 10 TB 3.5-inch SATA hard disk drive

The Western Digital Ultrastar 10TB 3.5-inch SATA HDD is an internal hard drive intended for enterprise storage and data-centre systems. Its 10TB capacity provides space for applications that need to retain large amounts of data on a single disk. Mechanical hard-disk storage is the basis of its data storage and retrieval. The stated applications include archiving, where capacity is a central consideration when selecting a drive. Server storage is another intended use, alongside broader organisational data-storage requirements.

A 3.5-inch form factor determines the type of drive bay required for installation. The SATA interface connects the drive to a compatible host system or storage enclosure. Compatibility therefore depends on both the available bay and the system's storage connection, rather than capacity alone. The enclosure measures 101.6 mm wide, 26.1 mm high, and 147 mm deep, providing specific clearance requirements for checking physical fit. These mounting and connection requirements matter when adding the drive to an existing storage configuration.

• 7,200 RPM spindle speed specifies the disk's operating rotational rate.
• 6 Gbit/s interface transfer rate describes the connection rating, not sustained disk throughput.
• 2,000,000-hour MTBF rating provides a statistical reliability specification, not an individual drive lifespan.
• S.M.A.R.T. support enables drive-health monitoring through compatible software.
• 24/7 operation support suits systems that remain running continuously.
• 750 g weight is relevant when planning drive installation and handling.
