WD Ultrastar Data60 DAS Storage System

The WD Ultrastar Data60 DAS Storage System is a sophisticated, high-density direct-attached storage solution engineered to meet the demanding needs of modern data environments. Capable of delivering up to 1.3PB of raw capacity, this enterprise-grade DAS system is designed for data centers, cloud service providers, and resellers seeking scalable, reliable storage with streamlined management. With a focus on density, performance, and resilience, the Data60 enables organizations to consolidate workloads, accelerate backups, and empower data-intensive applications—from virtualization to analytics—while maintaining predictable operational costs and simple procurement paths.

  • Unparalleled density and capacity: designed to maximize storage density, the WD Ultrastar Data60 DAS Storage System can scale to up to 1.3PB of raw capacity in a compact chassis, enabling data-rich applications to reside close to compute and reducing latency for backup, sandbox testing, and analytics. This level of density is ideal for enterprises consolidating workloads, cloud service providers provisioning multi-tenant storage pools, and resellers offering robust storage portfolios without sacrificing rack space or power efficiency. The high-capacity design supports long-term data retention strategies, compliance requirements, and archival workflows while maintaining straightforward manageability.
  • Enterprise-grade reliability and resilience: built to run continuously in demanding environments, Data60 emphasizes redundancy, error detection, and data integrity. It supports fault-tolerant data paths, redundant power options, and proactive health monitoring to minimize downtime. With integrated management tooling, IT teams can forecast failures, automate recovery, and sustain service-level commitments across mission-critical workloads such as large-scale backups, business analytics, and virtualization platforms.
  • Performance and efficiency for modern workloads: optimized for sustained throughput and low latency, the Data60 delivers steady IOPS and responsive access for virtualization, databases, and analytics pipelines. The scalable design supports a mix of drives to balance capacity and performance, while intelligent data placement, caching, and tiering strategies help hot data stay readily accessible. The result is faster backups, quicker recoveries, and an improved user experience across data-intensive applications.
  • Flexible deployment and easy management: as a DAS solution, the Data60 attaches directly to your server infrastructure, enabling deterministic latency and straightforward integration with existing data protection, backup, and disaster recovery workflows. Centralized monitoring, inventory management, and alerting simplify administration across large fleets, while firmware updates, drive health tracking, and capacity planning tools streamline ongoing operations. Its modular design supports scalable growth to meet evolving storage needs for private clouds, media workflows, content repositories, and research data stores.
  • Value, cost of ownership, and future-ready design: investing in a high-density WD Ultrastar Data60 DAS Storage System translates into more efficient rack space usage, lower power consumption, and predictable maintenance costs. The system is engineered for longevity and software efficiency, helping organizations extend storage lifecycles while maintaining performance. For resellers and service providers, the Data60 enables rapid expansion to meet customer demand and deliver robust storage offerings with long-term compatibility with evolving data-center architectures.
