About the WD Ultrastar DC HC320 8TB Enterprise HDD 0B36415
At just 3.9W in idle mode and 5.0W during active read/write operations, the WD Ultrastar DC HC320 8TB Enterprise HDD (part number HUS728T8TAL) delivers exceptional power efficiency—a critical consideration for storage architects managing power-dense JBOB environments where kilowatt-hour costs directly impact total cost of ownership. Western Digital engineered this drive to balance performance with thermal efficiency, enabling higher drive counts per chassis without exceeding power budgets or thermal thresholds.
Built on Western Digital's proven helium-sealed multi-platter architecture, the DC HC320 combines 8TB of formatted capacity in a standard 3.5-inch form factor with SATA 6Gb/s connectivity and 7200 RPM rotational speed for consistent enterprise workload performance. The 256MB cache buffer smooths I/O operations across mixed-workload environments, while dual vibration compensation technologies—RAFF and multi-axis shock sensors—protect against mechanical stress in high-vibration installations. With an annualized workload rating of 550TB/year, an MTBF of 2,500,000 hours, and an uncorrectable read error rate of 1 in 10^15 bits read, this drive meets SLA requirements for always-on data centers and continuous-availability storage pools. Operating across the full range from 0°C to 60°C, it tolerates the thermal swings of both controlled environments and edge deployments. Acoustic performance remains quiet at 20 dBA typical in idle state, minimizing cooling fan demands in noise-sensitive facilities.
