Western Digital Ultrastar Data60 SE4U60-60 Drive Enclosure SATA/600 – Mini-SAS HD Host Interface – 4U Rack-mountable

Ultrastar® Data60 Hybrid Storage Platform The Next Generation Platform for Software-Defined Storage Designed for High Density and Flexibility

The Ultrastar Data60 Hybrid Storage Platform is a key element of next-generation disaggregated storage and software-defined storage (SDS) systems, delivering high density and the flexibility to balance performance with cost. The Ultrastar Data60 Hybrid Storage Platform provides up to 1.68PB1 of raw storage2 in a compact and efficient form factor. Western Digital HelioSeal® drives ensure cool running, quiet operation, and high reliability.

Building on 50+ Years of Storage Design Experience

Conventional dense disk shelves frequently suffer from performance degradation due to induced vibration from adjacent drives. Traditional platforms also have cooling challenges as the cooling air passes over successive rows of drives, losing effectiveness as it gets heated up along the airflow path. Developing storage devices and platforms side-by-side, we address these challenges through Silicon to Systems Design, a set of technologies developed based on a holistic view of devices, platform, and their interactions. The first two of these innovative technologies are IsoVibe™ and ArcticFlow™. IsoVibe reduces vibration-induced performance degradation, while ArcticFlow overcomes the cooling issues by introducing cool air into the middle of the platform. Both these technologies contribute to long-term reliability, enabling our five-year limited warranty on the entire platform.

Designed for the Enterprise and the Cloud

This platform addresses the demanding storage needs of large enterprise customers, storage OEMs, cloud service providers and resellers/integrators that require dense, shared HDD storage. The Ultrastar Data60 Hybrid Storage Platform provides the flexibility to specify the HDD combinations to balance capacity, performance and cost.
