About the WD Ultrastar DC HC690 24TB Enterprise HDD
SATA 6Gb/s, 3.5-inch form factor enterprise HDD with 2,500,000-hour MTBF — the WD Ultrastar DC HC690 24TB (part number WUH722424AL) delivers massive capacity and proven reliability for mission-critical data centres. Manufactured by Western Digital, this drive combines 24 TB of formatted capacity with Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) technology, enabling cost-effective storage expansion at scale. The hermetically sealed HelioSeal enclosure filled with helium maintains optimal performance across the full operating temperature range of 0°C to 60°C, while the 512 MB cache buffer optimizes throughput for sequential workloads. With an annualized failure rate of just 0.35% and a non-recoverable read error rate of 1 per 10^15 bits read, this drive is engineered for long-term deployment in demanding environments.
Built for storage architects and IT procurement teams managing large-scale capacity requirements, the DC HC690 operates at 7,200 RPM and consumes approximately 9.0 W during active read/write operations. Its 180 TB/year workload rate rating supports consistent performance in multi-drive arrays, while RoHS compliance ensures environmental responsibility. Measuring 101.85 mm × 147 mm × 26.1 mm and weighing approximately 650 g, the drive integrates seamlessly into standard 3.5-inch rack enclosures. Western Digital's proven enterprise-grade design makes this model an ideal choice for organizations seeking reliable, high-capacity storage without premium price tags.
Typical Enterprise Deployment Scenarios
- Archive and cold-storage tiers in hybrid cloud infrastructure requiring capacity at minimal operating cost
- Large-scale backup repositories where MTBF and annual failure rates directly impact TCO
- Data warehouse expansion for organizations growing beyond 100 TB per site
- Multi-drive NAS and SAN arrays prioritizing reliability over extreme performance
- Long-term retention systems subject to RoHS and environmental compliance mandates
