Our take
This HGST WD Ultrastar DC HC520 is a powerful option for enterprise users needing significant, reliable storage. With a 12TB capacity and a 7200 RPM spin speed, it handles large data sets with good efficiency. The SAS 12Gb/s interface is a key highlight, providing excellent data transfer rates and robust connectivity crucial for server environments. The 256MB cache also contributes to its overall responsiveness. While the price point reflects its enterprise-grade features and high capacity, it's important to have a system with a compatible SAS interface to fully leverage its capabilities, as it's not a standard SATA drive.
