WD Ultrastar Serv60+8 Hybrid Storage Server
WD Ultrastar Serv60+8 Hybrid Storage Server
A 4U, 68-bay hybrid platform built to swallow petabyte-scale datasets. Xeon-driven compute, SAS-connected density, and headroom for up to 780 TB raw — shipped ready to grow with your data.
Density without the tradeoffs
Storage growth rarely arrives on schedule, and rip-and-replace refresh cycles are expensive in both dollars and downtime. The WD Ultrastar Serv60+8 was engineered around a simple premise: give infrastructure teams a chassis that starts right-sized and scales in place. It ships with 24 x 12 TB-class HDDs installed today (288 TB usable at the array level before RAID or erasure coding overhead), while the enclosure itself supports up to 60 hard drives and 32 solid-state drives across a combined 68 bays — enough headroom to triple capacity without touching the rack unit count.
Underneath the sheet metal sits an Intel Xeon platform paired with a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) backplane, the combination most storage architects reach for when they need predictable throughput across dozens of spinning and solid-state drives simultaneously. Whether the workload is nearline object storage, backup and archive targets, surveillance retention, media asset libraries, or a Ceph / ZFS / Storage Spaces Direct node, the Serv60+8 is built to sit at the center of it.

Complete technical specifications
Every configuration detail for procurement, RFPs, and rack planning.
I/O and management
Out-of-band management and enough I/O for KVM, diagnostics, and local peripherals.
Built for capacity-hungry workloads
Backup & Archive
A cost-effective landing zone for backup targets, long-term retention, and cold archive tiers where every TB counts.
Software-Defined Storage
SAS-connected density and SSD bays make this a strong node for Ceph, ZFS pools, or Storage Spaces Direct clusters.
Media & Surveillance
High-capacity nearline storage for media asset libraries, video archives, and long-retention surveillance footage.
