About the Ultrastar DC HC310 8TB SATA 6Gb/s 3.5-inch 7200RPM
The Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC310 8TB (HUS726T8TALE6L4) is a 3.5-inch enterprise-class hard disk drive engineered for demanding datacenter environments where sustained throughput, high workload ratings, and long-term reliability are non-negotiable. Built on a conventional magnetic recording (CMR) architecture and spinning at 7200 RPM, the HC310 delivers a balance of sequential read/write performance and random I/O consistency well suited to mixed read/write enterprise workloads. The drive interfaces via SATA 6Gb/s, offering broad compatibility across existing server and storage infrastructure without the need for proprietary host bus adapters.
Designed for always-on datacenter operation, the HC310 carries a 550 TB/year workload rating, enabling continuous, high-duty-cycle deployment in NAS arrays, direct-attached storage, and tiered storage systems. Its 256 MB cache buffer supports sustained data streaming, while Western Digital's Rotational Vibration Safeguard (RVS) technology compensates for mechanical vibration in high-density multi-drive enclosures, maintaining consistent performance in populated rack configurations. The drive is rated for up to 2.5 million hours mean time between failures (MTBF), reflecting its suitability for enterprise environments where unplanned downtime carries significant operational impact.
The Ultrastar DC HC310 8TB is positioned as a dependable, high-capacity building block for scale-out storage architectures supporting surveillance, cloud object storage, big data analytics, and general enterprise data repositories. Omnixon Global makes this drive available to enterprise buyers across UAE, GCC, EMEA, and APAC regions, supporting large-volume and project-based procurement requirements for datacenters and IT infrastructure deployments worldwide.
Ideal for
- High-density NAS and SAN arrays requiring large per-spindle capacity with sustained throughput and vibration compensation in multi-drive chassis
- Surveillance and video analytics storage platforms demanding continuous sequential write performance across extended recording windows
- Cloud and hyperscale object storage tiers where cost-per-terabyte efficiency and high workload endurance underpin petabyte-scale repositories
- Big data and AI/ML dataset repositories where bulk sequential reads feed compute clusters with training and inference data at datacenter scale
- Enterprise backup and archive targets requiring high capacity, reliable CMR write semantics, and compatibility with mainstream backup software and tape-replacement workflows
- Edge datacenter and regional IT infrastructure deployments across EMEA and APAC where proven enterprise-grade reliability is required in space-constrained or mixed-workload environments

Frequently Asked Questions about Ultrastar DC HC310 8TB SATA 6Gb/s 3.5-inch 7200RPM
What workloads is the Ultrastar DC HC310 8TB SATA 6Gb/s 3.5-inch 7200RPM 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.
