About the Hitachi Ultrastar DC HH360 8TB 7200RPM SAS 12Gb/s 3.5-inch CMR
The Hitachi Ultrastar DC HH360 8TB is a 3.5-inch enterprise-class hard disk drive engineered for demanding datacenter environments requiring high sustained throughput, consistent latency, and long-term operational reliability. Built on Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) technology, the HH360 spins at 7200 RPM and interfaces via SAS 12Gb/s dual-port connectivity, delivering the signal integrity and redundant path failover that mission-critical storage infrastructure demands. The drive carries the HUS728080AL5204 manufacturer part number and is rated for continuous 24×7 operation.
The Ultrastar DC HH360 8TB is optimized for read-intensive and mixed-workload enterprise applications, offering a high annualized workload rating of 550TB per year and a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 2,000,000 hours. Its 256MB cache buffer accelerates sequential and random I/O patterns, while the SAS 12Gb/s interface sustains the bandwidth headroom needed for storage arrays, JBOD enclosures, and tiered NAS architectures. The drive also incorporates Rotational Vibration (RV) sensors, enabling stable performance in high-density multi-drive enclosures where vibration-induced read/write errors are a common operational concern.
Designed with enterprise AI, analytics, and large-scale data management workloads in mind, the HH360 8TB delivers a balance of capacity, reliability, and interface performance suitable for hyperscale and regional datacenter deployments. Its SAS dual-port topology supports multipath I/O configurations essential for storage area networks (SANs) and enterprise RAID arrays. The drive's power efficiency and thermal profile make it well suited for high-density storage shelves where rack-level power and cooling budgets are tightly managed across UAE, GCC, EMEA, and APAC datacenter facilities.
Ideal for
- High-density SAN and enterprise RAID arrays requiring dual-port SAS failover and sustained sequential throughput
- AI and machine learning data lake storage where large sequential read workloads demand high workload ratings and consistent I/O
- Surveillance and media archive repositories needing 24×7 continuous write endurance at 8TB capacity per spindle
- Tiered NAS and object storage back-end tiers in hyperscale and regional datacenters across EMEA and APAC
- Database backup and restore infrastructure where CMR write consistency and SAS reliability are operational requirements
- JBOD expansion shelves in cloud and colocation environments requiring vibration-tolerant, high-density drive configurations

Frequently Asked Questions about Hitachi Ultrastar DC HH360 8TB 7200RPM SAS 12Gb/s 3.5-inch CMR
What workloads is the Hitachi Ultrastar DC HH360 8TB 7200RPM SAS 12Gb/s 3.5-inch CMR designed for?
Enterprise mixed-use and read-intensive workloads — including transactional databases, AI inference data, virtualisation, hyperconverged storage, and analytics. Endurance is rated for sustained 24/7 operation, not consumer-style burst use.
Will this SSD work in my Dell / HPE / Lenovo server?
Most enterprise SSDs ship in vendor-branded variants tied to a server QVL. Share your server model and we will quote the correctly-branded SKU (Dell-genuine, HPE-genuine, Lenovo-genuine) so support and firmware update tooling work without complaints.
Do you provide support support locally?
Yes. All units are sourced through distribution, so support registers cleanly with the manufacturer (Samsung / Kioxia / Solidigm / Micron / WD / Seagate) and DOA replacement is handled through our Dubai operations within 5 business days for UAE/GCC.
How do I get a quote for a bulk order?
Use the RFQ form on this page with your quantity and destination. For larger and project-scale orders we engage the vendor directly to prepare a tailored quote, and our pre-sales team follows up with a vendor-confirmed quote.
