About the WD Ultrastar HA340 12 TB 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s Enterprise HDD 0B47061

Built for high-capacity archive and hyperconverged storage environments, the WD Ultrastar HA340 12TB (Part No. 0B47061) combines conventional magnetic recording (CMR) reliability with enterprise-grade performance. At 12TB per drive, this 3.5-inch SATA solution delivers substantial capacity density while maintaining deterministic write behavior—critical for backup-to-disk infrastructure, video surveillance repositories, and distributed object storage clusters where per-terabyte cost efficiency matters.

The drive's 7200 RPM spindle paired with a 256 MB cache yields sequential read speeds up to 267 MB/s, supporting batch restore operations and sequential scan workloads typical in cold-tier and archive tiers. With 2 million TBW endurance rating, the HA340 12TB handles sustained RAID rebuild cycles and modest continuous I/O without accelerated wear. Air-filled CMR design eliminates SMR host-management overhead, ensuring straightforward compatibility with legacy SAS/SATA expanders and established storage controllers across on-premise and hybrid cloud deployments.

  • 12TB capacity on single drive for 288TB raw per 24-bay JBOD chassis
  • Up to 267 MB/s sequential read—sufficient for video archive and backup restore throughput
  • CMR architecture with 2M TBW endurance—no per-zone rate limitations or background optimization
  • SATA 6Gb/s interface—drop-in replacement for installed base infrastructure
  • Enterprise-class power efficiency and thermal headroom for always-on data centers
