Western Digital Ultrastar Data60 1ES2204 60-Bay 4U Storage Platform, 1320 TB

The Western Digital Ultrastar Data60 storage platform provides up to 1,320 TB of raw capacity for enterprise storage deployments. Its 60 drive bays concentrate storage within a single chassis for dense shared-storage installations. This is a complete hybrid storage platform rather than a standalone hard drive for an individual computer. The intended environments include enterprise data centres, cloud providers, and software-defined storage systems. Its capacity specification refers to raw storage, which should be distinguished from usable space when planning a deployment.

Hot-swappable drives allow drive replacement without shutting down the platform, a useful capability when servicing shared storage infrastructure. Support for continuous, 24/7 operation suits environments where storage needs to remain available around the clock. Western Digital's IsoVibe technology provides vibration isolation within the densely populated chassis. ArcticFlow cooling manages airflow through the system to address the thermal demands of its drive population. Together, these technologies address two practical concerns in dense storage installations: vibration management and cooling.

• 4U rack-mount format: occupies four rack units in a server rack.
• 3.5-inch drive format: accommodates drives in this physical size.
• SATA interface: specifies the drive connectivity standard.
• Rotational vibration sensors: included for vibration detection.
• Listed certifications: CE, UKCA, FCC, ICES, VCCI, KCC, BSMI, RCM, and EAC.
