Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC560 20TB SATA HDD

Specification

Description

The Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC560 20TB Data Center HDD (0F38755) is an enterprise-grade hard drive engineered for professionals using data centers, delivering an unbeaten 20TB capacity in a nine-disk platform (2.2TB/platter) using CMR recording format. As the first implementation of WD’s OptiNAND technology’s capacity-enabling features, the HC560 represents a significant leap in areal density engineering for high-capacity enterprise storage.

OptiNAND technology integrates an iNAND Universal Flash Storage (UFS) Embedded Flash Drive with traditional spinning disk media, incorporating innovative changes to the firmware algorithm and system-on-a-chip (SoC) — importantly, this is not a hybrid technology. The drive works smarter, with enhanced firmware algorithms taking advantage of expanded metadata offloaded to the iNAND, enabling more tracks per inch (TPI) and resulting in increased areal density, which is how WD achieved this class-leading 20TB capacity.

Built on a helium-sealed (HelioSeal) 3.5-inch form factor with a SATA 6Gb/s interface, the drive spins at 7,200 RPM and features a substantial 512MB cache buffer, delivering maximum sustained transfer rates of up to 291 MB/s. The platform also incorporates Triple-Stage Actuator (TSA) technology and energy-assisted magnetic recording (EAMR) heritage, building on WD’s history of industry-first areal density innovations.

Offered as part of the broader DC HC500 series available from 10TB capacities, the HC560 is designed for enterprise servers, backup systems, cloud storage, and enterprise NAS applications requiring the 512e sector size for high performance and high-density storage. The drive meets modern data center reliability requirements with a workload rating of up to 550TB per year and an MTBF of 2.5 million hours (projected), while also offering encryption options including self-encrypting drive (SED) models for organizations with data security requirements.

Backed by a 5-year limited warranty, the Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC560 20TB is purpose-built to help hyperscale cloud providers, CSPs, enterprises, video surveillance partners, and NAS suppliers meet the exponential growth in data creation with cost-effective, high-density storage at scale.

User Experience in Bangladesh

In Bangladesh, the Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC560 20TB Data Center HDD has become a preferred choice among the country’s growing data centers, cloud service providers, telecom operators, and large enterprises across Dhaka, Chattogram, and other major commercial centers that need high-density enterprise storage without the higher cost of the newest-generation 22TB drives. As Bangladesh’s digital infrastructure continues to mature — driven by expanding cloud services, telecom data growth, and enterprise digitization — the 20TB capacity offers substantial storage density for organizations planning large-scale storage expansion.

Local data center operators and enterprise IT teams particularly value the drive’s HelioSeal helium-sealed design, which offers lower power consumption compared to air-filled alternatives — an important consideration for Bangladeshi data centers managing cooling costs in the country’s warmer climate. The OptiNAND technology’s improved areal density is recognized by local technical teams as a meaningful engineering advancement that helped bring 20TB capacities to market, offering strong value for organizations needing maximum storage density per rack unit.

For businesses running video surveillance infrastructure at scale, cloud storage platforms, or enterprise backup systems, the drive’s 550TB/year workload rating and 2.5 million hour MTBF provide strong assurance for continuous, business-critical operations — relevant for Bangladeshi banks, telecom operators, and growing cloud infrastructure providers where storage reliability directly impacts service availability. Given the country’s variable power infrastructure, enterprises deploying this drive typically invest in robust UPS and generator backup systems to complement the drive’s enterprise-grade reliability rating.

The extended 5-year manufacturer warranty offers meaningful assurance for Bangladeshi organizations making substantial enterprise storage investments. Combined with proven compatibility across enterprise servers, backup systems, and cloud/NAS infrastructure, the Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC560 20TB has established itself as a dependable, high-capacity choice for Bangladesh’s expanding data center and enterprise IT ecosystem.
