Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC510 10TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 3.5-inch Helium Enterprise HDD

The Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC510 10TB is a 3.5-inch enterprise hard disk drive built on HelioSeal technology, filling the sealed drive chamber with helium gas rather than air. This design reduces internal turbulence and drag on the spinning platters, enabling Western Digital to stack seven platters within the standard 3.5-inch form factor while maintaining a lower power draw than comparable air-filled drives. The result is a high-capacity SATA 6Gb/s drive spinning at 7200 RPM with a 256MB cache buffer, engineered to sustain continuous operation in demanding data center environments.

With a rated workload of 550TB per year and an annualized failure rate of 0.35%, the HC510 is designed for always-on infrastructure where reliability and data integrity are non-negotiable. The drive incorporates Western Digital's RAFF (Rotational Acceleration Feed Forward) technology to compensate for rotational vibration in high-density multi-drive enclosures, along with enhanced error recovery controls (ERC) that allow the host system to manage read and write timeouts—a critical requirement for RAID and object storage environments. Native 512e sector emulation with optional 4Kn configuration supports compatibility across a broad range of enterprise operating systems and storage controllers.

The Ultrastar DC HC510 carries a manufacturer part number of HUH721010ALE604 and is offered in a SATA 6Gb/s interface variant suited to scale-out NAS, cloud object storage, and bulk data repository deployments. Omnixon Global supplies this drive to enterprise, government, and hyperscale buyers across the UAE, GCC, EMEA, and APAC regions, providing a reliable procurement path for organizations building or expanding high-capacity storage infrastructure.

Ideal for

• Hyperscale and cloud object storage nodes requiring maximum raw capacity per rack unit with controlled power consumption
• Scale-out NAS systems supporting unstructured data repositories such as backup archives, media libraries, and document stores
• AI and machine learning data lake storage where large sequential read throughput feeds training pipelines
• Enterprise RAID arrays and JBOD enclosures in data centers benefiting from RAFF vibration compensation in dense multi-drive configurations
• Surveillance and video analytics platforms that require sustained write throughput for continuous high-resolution stream ingestion
• Cold and warm tier storage in tiered data center architectures where capacity efficiency and low idle power are prioritized over latency
