Identified by model HUH721212AL4205, it offers a substantial 512 MB cache, making it suitable for high-capacity enterprise storage applications.

Our take
The WD 12TB DC HC520 is a powerful option for enterprise-grade storage, offering a massive amount of capacity combined with solid performance. The 7200 RPM speed is standard for high-capacity drives, and the generous 512 MB cache is a definite plus for improving I/O operations and overall responsiveness. Being a SAS drive, it's clearly aimed at server and data center environments. The '100%' claim for functionality is reassuring, though it's always wise to verify with diagnostics upon receipt, as this is likely a refurbished or pulled drive. It's a cost-effective way to get significant storage if you have the right infrastructure.
