About the Western Digital Ultrastar Data60 60-Bay 4U Storage Enclosure
The Western Digital Ultrastar Data60 is a 60-bay 4U storage enclosure engineered as a JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) expansion solution for enterprise storage infrastructures. Featuring dual-controller architecture, the system delivers redundant I/O paths and non-disruptive management capabilities essential for continuous-availability environments. The 4U form factor accommodates 60 drive bays in a 3.5-inch configuration, enabling dense capacity scaling while maintaining industry-standard rack compatibility and thermal management.
Architecturally, the Data60 employs SAS connectivity for host integration, supporting both single-initiator and multi-initiator configurations depending on controller pairing strategies. The enclosure integrates comprehensive monitoring via embedded management interfaces, including environmental sensors, power supply redundancy options, and fan speed management. Firmware and hardware design emphasize reliability for mission-critical workloads spanning cloud infrastructure, broadcast/media libraries, and archival-tier storage operations.
Launched in Q3 2021, the Ultrastar Data60 has established itself as the preferred mid-scale expansion platform for organizations requiring cost-effective, high-density storage without embedded controller overhead. The system supports mixed-drive configurations and integrates seamlessly with enterprise storage arrays, NAS appliances, and custom storage solutions leveraging standard SAS protocols.
Ideal for
- Cloud service provider storage expansion for virtual machine datastores and object storage backends
- Media and entertainment content libraries requiring tiered archive and nearline capacity
- Data center JBOD expansion for hyperscale deployments and distributed storage clusters
- Scientific research and machine learning datasets requiring petabyte-scale accessible storage
- Financial services backup and compliance archival for regulatory retention mandates
- Broadcast infrastructure supporting live playout and video file libraries
