Western Digital Ultrastar Data60 Hybrid Storage Platform 480TB

The Western Digital Ultrastar Data60 is a high-density JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) storage expansion shelf engineered for petabyte-scale distributed storage architectures. Delivering 480TB of raw capacity in a single 4U form factor, the Data60 consolidates storage density while maintaining operational simplicity through SAS connectivity and hot-swap drive bays. The platform supports mixed HDD populations, enabling operators to balance capacity and performance tiers within unified infrastructure.

Designed for hyperscale and research computing deployments, the Data60 integrates seamlessly into object storage, archival, and high-performance computing (HPC) environments where storage expansion beyond primary controller limitations is required. The shelf's architecture prioritizes reliability and accessibility for large-scale analytics, genomics research, and media asset management workflows operating at institutional scale.

Ideal for

• Petabyte-class object storage expansion for cloud-native and S3-compatible storage systems
• HPC scratch and long-term storage scaling for research computing clusters
• Archival and cold-storage tiers for enterprise backup and compliance retention
• Genomics and bioinformatics data repositories requiring dense, accessible capacity
• Media and digital asset management with high sequential throughput requirements
• University research infrastructure supporting multi-tenant scientific computing
