Ultrastar DC HC560 20TB Enterprise Drive
The Western Digital Ultrastar DC HC560 0F38785 is a 20TB 3.5" internal hard drive built for enterprise storage workloads. It operates at 7200 RPM with a 512MB cache and uses a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. Conventional magnetic recording (CMR) technology supports sustained write performance.
Suited for High-Capacity Arrays
This drive suits data centres and servers that need maximum capacity per bay and 7200 RPM throughput for bulk storage, backup targets or nearline archives. It is not for laptops or small-form-factor systems that only accept 2.5" drives, nor for desktop users who need low-noise or low-power operation.
SATA 6.0Gb/s Interface Decides Compatibility
The single specification that decides fit is the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface; the host must provide a standard SATA data and power connection. The 26.10mm height matches the standard 3.5" form factor, so any chassis or backplane designed for 3.5" enterprise drives will accept it.

Questions about this item
Does my system need a SATA 6.0Gb/s port and a 3.5" drive bay to install this 20TB Ultrastar HC560?
Yes — the drive uses the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and the standard 3.5-inch form factor, so the host must provide a matching data port, power connector and a bay that accepts the 26.10mm height.
Can I keep using my existing SATA 3Gb/s controller with this 7200 RPM 512MB cache drive?
The drive is backward compatible with slower SATA speeds; it will operate at the controller's maximum rate while retaining its 7200 RPM spindle speed and 512MB cache.
How do I confirm the 20TB capacity and 4.16ms latency are recognised after installation?
Check the BIOS or operating-system disk utility — it should report the full 20TB capacity and the drive's model 0F38785, while SMART data will show the 4.16ms average latency specification.
