Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC500 WUH722626ALE6L4 26 TB Hard Drive - 3.5" Internal - SATA (SATA/600) - Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) Method

Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC590 26TB Data Center Hard Drive

The Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC590, model WUH722626ALE6L4 and part number 0F65672, is a high-capacity internal hard drive designed for storage servers, data centers, and demanding enterprise environments. Its 26TB capacity provides substantial space for large image libraries, extensive video archives, backup repositories, surveillance footage, and other data-intensive workloads while helping organizations increase storage density within existing rack and enclosure footprints.

High-Density 11-Disk CMR Platform

Built on an 11-disk conventional magnetic recording platform, the Ultrastar DC HC590 combines proven hardware and firmware designs with Western Digital energy-assisted perpendicular magnetic recording technology. This design increases tracks per inch and supports efficient use of available rack space. The helium-filled platform helps reduce internal turbulence and power requirements, while the 7,200 RPM spindle speed and 512MB cache buffer support responsive data access and sustained enterprise storage performance.

Enterprise Reliability and Data Protection

Western Digital engineering features help the drive maintain consistent operation in demanding data center environments. Rotational Vibration Safeguard uses dual sensors to detect and counteract vibration, while Dynamic Fly Height technology helps protect the recording heads from unexpected shock events. OptiNAND technology integrates embedded flash to support drive housekeeping functions, helping improve capacity utilization and overall performance. ArmorCache technology provides selectable write-cache behavior, including a write-cache-disabled mode for enhanced random write performance and a write-cache-enabled mode for added protection during unexpected power loss or emergency power-off conditions.

Flexible Server Integration

The Ultrastar DC HC590 uses a SATA 6Gb/s interface for compatibility with a broad range of storage servers and enterprise systems. Its standard 3.5-inch internal drive form factor supports straightforward integration into compatible data center infrastructure. With its combination of high capacity, proven reliability, vibration protection, cache performance, and efficient storage density, the Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC590 is well suited for cloud storage, backup, archiving, content repositories, and other large-scale data applications.
