Purpose-built for Dell servers

This 12 TB SAS drive is designed for Dell PowerEdge servers and compatible storage enclosures. It targets administrators who need high-capacity nearline storage in a 3.5 inch form factor. The drive uses a 12 Gbps SAS interface and 512e sector formatting for broad compatibility.

Sustained workload behaviour

Rated at 7.2 K RPM, the Ultrastar DC HC520 platform delivers consistent throughput for sequential workloads such as backup, archiving and bulk data ingest. Self-encrypting FIPS-certified firmware helps maintain data integrity during long write sessions without performance penalties.

Thermals noise and power

Enterprise nearline drives of this class are engineered for continuous operation in multi-drive chassis with managed airflow. The helium-sealed design reduces internal friction, helping to keep operating temperatures and acoustic output lower than conventional air-filled equivalents under typical server loads.
