Thunderbolt 2/Thunderbolt compatibility requires a certified and a Thunderbolt 2 cable (available separately). This configuration provides data transfer at up to 20Gb/s but does not support notebook charging.
Must be connected to host computer via Thunderbolt (USB-C), and cannot be used as a NAS. The Ethernet port provides the host computer with a 2.5GbE network connection over Thunderbolt (USB-C), but it cannot be used to access the drives over the network.
Requires 2.5Gb/s Ethernet compatible hardware components and cabling (Cat 5e cable minimum, Cat 6 or later strongly recommended).

Overview
The breadth and depth of Big Data is driving the universal need for higher capacities across a broad spectrum of applications and workloads. Laying the foundation for a worry-free data center, Western Digital delivers the capacity to conquer the data explosion with the Ultrastar DC HC500 series of hard drives. Built using HelioSeal technology, the industrys only fifth-generation helium platform, the DC HC500 series is designed for public and private cloud environments, where storage density, Watts/TB and $/TB are critical for creating the most cost-efficient infrastructure. HelioSeal technology is key to achieving higher drive capacities, greater reliability ratings and extreme power efficiency. The result is a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for our cloud and enterprise customers.

FAQ
What is the Highest Capacity of WD Ultrastar Drive available ?
As in 2019 , 14TB is the highest capacity available. 18TB has been Announced already and will be available by Q1 2020.
Can I use a WD Ultrastar Drive in Servers, NAS and Surveillance ?
Yes, these are the highest grade Data center drives and can be used anywhere.
What is the meaning of Limited Warranty ?
Limited warranty means that each passing year, you got partial value of your drives back. If its 5 years limited warranty, you get full replacement in first year, 75% value in second year and 50% Value in the third year.
What interface are WD ultrastar Available ?
WD Ultrstar is available in SATA and SAS.
Are there 4K native drives in Ultrastar ?
Yes, you can order 512e or 4K native drives in both SATA and SAS.
What are the encryptions available on WD Ultrastar Drives ?
You can have TCG encryption, Secure Erase or TCG encryption with FIPS in SAS drives. Our price list doesn't have all the models, but ask us for what your requirement is and we will be able to offer an appropriate drive.
How do you read the part numbers of WD Ultrastar? what does E6,52 signify
Lets break down a part number to easily understand WUH721414AL4205 WU = Western Digital Ultrastar H= Helim ( S = Standard) All the drives from 1 to 8 tb ( and new 10TB AIR) have S. 12,14 TB have H to denote helium platform 72= 7200 RPM 1414 = 14TB full capacity , 14TB capacity of this model. ( 1412 would mean 14 full capacity and 12tb capacity of this model) AL = generation, height 42= interface. (52 = 512e SAS, E6= 512e SATA, N6= 4kn SATA, 42 = 4Kn SAS) 0 = power Diable 5 = Encryption ( 1 = TCG, 4 = Secure Erase, 5 = TCG/FIPS)
What is the relation between WD ultrastar and HGST/Hitachi Ultrastar
WD Acquired HGST( Hitachi Global Data Systems) Ultrastar in 2012. All the Ultrastar Drives are now sold as WD ultrastar instead of HGST Ultrastar.
What is the difference between WD Gold and WD Ultrastar drives, they are both Enterprise drives.
WD Gold is Enterprise Class but geared towards the channel sales. For large project and implementations, Ultrastar is more suitable becuase of following reasons 1. Ultrastar Is Available in SAS and SATA. Gold is available only in SATA 2. Ultastar can be ordred in 512e, 512n ( in lower caps) and 4Kn . Gold format is fixed and can't be changed ( 512n/512e) 3. Ultrastar Can be had in TCG, SE, FIPS encryptions unlike Gold.

Toshiba N300 Network grade
8TB CMR, 7200 RPM
3 Years Full Replacement Warranty
--Toshiba N300 NAS Hard Drive
Built for 24/7 reliability
EMEA Region, Toshiba Storage Solutions The 3.5-inch N300 NAS Hard Drive offers unprecedented reliability for NAS and other high-performance storage systems. It is optimized to meet the reliability, endurance, performance and scalability requirements of 24-hour x 7-day high-capacity storage for personal, home office and small business use. The N300 is available in capacities of up to 16 TB.
Use for: Network Attached Storage (NAS) Desktop RAID and servers Multimedia server storage Private cloud storage Small business server and storage
DESIGNED FOR NAS
Through its contact with NAS manufacturers, Toshiba recognizes the need for high-reliability disks in support of modern data storage and retrieval demands including streaming, backup and archiving. The drive, which can support multi-RAID systems with up to 8 hard disk drives, allows large volumes of data to be reliably stored and accessed by multiple clients 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

INTEGRATED RV SENSORS
Regular hard disk drives without RV sensors can affect the performance of a multi-bay NAS System by generating 'knock-on' vibration. N300 drives ensure high reliability by minimising vibration effects through their advanced control and sensing technology. Multiple sensors detect the slightest shock and built-in RV sensors also compensate for rotational vibration - eliminating the possibility of 'knock-on' vibration in multi-bay NAS configuration systems.
RELIABLE ALWAYS-ON OPERATION
NAS systems in small businesses or creative environments often need to be accessed by several users, at different locations, simultaneously. Therefore today's NAS drives must deliver high data transfer rates and simultaneous upload and download 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Offering high reliability and scalability, N300 drives achieve a max. 180 TB/year workload factor, up to 3 times more than convenient desktop hard drives.
HIGH DURABILITY AND HEAT PREVENTION
Use of high-endurance components is one of the reasons that the N300 series offers better durability than other conventional hard disk drives. At the same time, automatic adjustment of seek speed to reduce heat during high-temperature operation further improves endurance in demanding situations.
HIGH SPEED FOR MULTI-DRIVE ENVIRONMENT
High performance and fast read speed is made possible under high data access loads from multiple users thanks to 512, 256 or 128 MB data buffer. This makes the drive suitable for small businesses and creative professionals looking for solutions to handle high data volumes using multi-RAID NAS environments.
OPTIMISED CACHE ALLOCATION
Toshibas Dynamic Cache Technology, a self-contained cache algorithm with on-board buffer management, optimizes how the cache is allocated during read/write to provide the high-level performance demanded by real-time domains.
REDUCED NOISE AND ENERGY COSTS
The 12 TB, 14 TB and 16 TB N300 NAS Hard Drives use a helium-sealed design, achieving low power consumption while increasing storage density. Toshiba Groups laser welding technology ensures that the helium remains securely sealed inside the drive enclosure. With the environment in mind, the helium-filled N300 models minimize acoustic output to just 20db (typical) in idle mode. The devices are ideal for large scale server systems allowing for rich scalability of up to 8 drives.
BUILT TO DELIVER, DESIGNED TO LAST
Toshiba is renowned the world over for 50 years of leading innovation and the power behind its range of hard drives is no exception. Designed for high capacity and excellent performance, you can be sure that Toshibas wealth of experience in hard drives is at work in your storage system. A three year extended warranty is also included with the N300 for the ultimate peace of mind.
