Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC580 22TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 3.5-inch Enterprise HDD WUH722422ALE6L4

The Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC580 22TB (WUH722422ALE6L4) is a 3.5-inch enterprise-class hard disk drive built for mission-critical datacenter, cloud, and high-performance storage deployments. It spins at 7200 RPM, interfaces via SATA 6Gb/s, and carries a 512MB cache buffer, delivering high sustained sequential throughput and the low-latency random I/O characteristics demanded by dense server and JBOD configurations operating at continuous workloads.

The DC HC580 22TB is rated for 550TB/year annual workload and a 2,500,000 hours MTBF, certifying it for 24×7 data centre operation across multi-drive enclosures. CMR recording technology ensures predictable write behaviour and deterministic rebuild times in RAID arrays — a critical requirement for enterprise storage administrators. Rotational vibration (RV) sensors actively compensate for chassis-level vibration in densely populated drive bays, maintaining sustained throughput under real-world server conditions. Sector size is 512e.

Omnixon Global stocks the Ultrastar DC HC580 22TB (WUH722422ALE6L4) for enterprise procurement across the UAE, GCC, MENA, and EMEA. This drive is a proven building block for hyperscale cold storage tiers, AI training dataset repositories, enterprise backup vaults, object storage clusters (Ceph, MinIO), and high-capacity RAID storage arrays in colocation and on-premises datacenters.

Ideal for

• High-density JBOD and SAN storage arrays requiring CMR write consistency and reliable RAID rebuild performance
• Cloud and hyperscale datacenters deploying warm or cold storage tiers for object storage at scale
• AI and machine learning infrastructure storing large training datasets requiring sustained sequential read throughput
• Enterprise backup and archival systems replacing tape with high-capacity spinning media for rapid restore
• Colocation and managed service providers expanding raw capacity with cost-efficient 22TB density nodes
• Video surveillance back-end archive storage requiring continuous write workloads at high channel counts
