Hitachi HGST Ultrastar DC SS530 15.36TB 12Gb/s SAS 2.5-inch Enterprise Solid State Drive

This is a 2.5" SFF part on 12Gb/s SAS. It fits any bay wired for 12Gb/s SAS with dual-port SAS routing. Send us your server model and we will confirm backplane support, firmware level and any bracket or caddy required before you order. That check is part of every order we ship.

1 DWPD (read-intensive). Across 15.36TB of capacity that is approximately 28 PB of total writes over a five-year term, calculated from the drive-writes-per-day rating. Compare that against your workload's measured daily write volume: if you are writing more than 15TB a day to a single drive, ask us about the mixed-use alternatives instead.

They are the same drive line in a different capacity, with the same 12Gb/s SAS, 2.5" SFF and endurance rating. The 7.68TB gives you less capacity per bay at a lower unit cost. Where bays are the constraint (a full backplane, or a rack you cannot grow), the larger capacity is usually cheaper per usable terabyte once you count the chassis it saves. Ask us for both on one quote and compare.

Up to 2,200 MB/s sequential read and up to 2,100 MB/s sequential write, which is what 12Gb/s SAS allows. Sustained figures under a real mixed workload land lower than the sequential headline. Tell us your access pattern and queue depth and we will tell you what to expect rather than quoting the datasheet at you.

Yes. We supply through authorized distribution only, so the part carries the full Hitachi manufacturer warranty and its firmware update path stays supported. No grey-market stock, no re-labelled drives, no voided warranties.
