Enterprise-capacity SATA drive
The HGST Ultrastar DC HC510 is a 10TB 3.5-inch hard drive built for enterprise storage arrays and servers. It spins at 7200 RPM with a 128MB cache and uses a SATA 6Gb/s interface. A self-encrypting device feature helps protect data at rest.
Suited for bulk storage arrays
This drive fits administrators who need high-capacity storage for backups, archives or cold data tiers. Buyers who require faster random-access speeds for databases or virtualisation workloads should consider solid-state alternatives instead.
10TB capacity decision
The single specification that decides fit is the 10TB capacity. Confirm that your chassis, controller and power budget support 3.5-inch SATA drives of this density before purchasing.

Questions about this item
Does my system need a SATA 6Gb/s port to use the 10TB Ultrastar DC HC510?
The drive connects via the SATA 6Gb/s interface; a compatible SATA data cable and a free SATA power connector from the power supply are also required for operation.
Will the 7200RPM HUH721010ALE601-CR work in a chassis that currently holds 3.5" SATA drives?
Yes, it shares the standard 3.5" form factor and SATA interface, so it fits the same drive bays and uses the same cables as existing 3.5" SATA drives.
How can I verify the self-encrypting feature is active after installing the 10TB drive?
Use a drive-management tool that reports SED status or check the BIOS/UEFI for encryption-state indicators; the drive's SED capability is hardware-based and engages when the host enables it.
