Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC310 6TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 3.5-inch CMR Enterprise HDD

The Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC310 6TB is a 3.5-inch enterprise-class hard disk drive engineered for demanding datacenter and cloud storage environments. Built on Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) technology with a 7200 RPM spindle speed and a SATA 6Gb/s interface, it delivers consistent sequential throughput and reliable random I/O performance suited to 24×7 always-on operation. The drive carries a rated workload of up to 550TB per year, reflecting its design intent for high-duty-cycle server and storage array deployments rather than desktop or consumer workloads.

The HC310 6TB utilizes a helium-free air-filled hermetic design within Western Digital's established Ultrastar DC platform lineage. It incorporates a 256MB cache buffer to sustain data transfer rates, while the onboard controller supports error recovery and media-cache management optimized for enterprise read/write patterns. The drive is designed to meet stringent mean time between failures (MTBF) ratings, and includes rotational vibration (RV) sensors to maintain performance integrity in multi-drive, high-vibration rack environments such as JBODs and dense storage enclosures.

Targeted at enterprise IT infrastructure teams, cloud service providers, and AI/analytics platform operators across the UAE, GCC, EMEA, and APAC regions, the Ultrastar DC HC310 6TB (part number HUS726T6TALE6L4) is available through Omnixon Global. It is well-suited for scale-out NAS, object storage, backup repositories, and surveillance infrastructure where data integrity, sustained throughput, and long operational life are critical requirements.

Ideal for

• Scale-out NAS and object storage clusters requiring high-capacity, high-endurance CMR drives with predictable sequential performance
• Enterprise backup and data archival repositories where sustained write throughput and workload ratings up to 550TB/year are essential
• AI and analytics platforms needing reliable bulk storage for training datasets and large unstructured data lakes
• Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) and private cloud deployments demanding 24×7 operational reliability in vibration-prone multi-drive enclosures
• Video surveillance and security storage systems requiring continuous write operations across extended retention windows
• Corporate data center tiered storage where a cost-efficient, high-capacity SATA HDD tier complements SSD-based performance layers
