Dell Constellation ES.3 3TB SAS Drive

This Dell Constellation ES.3 drive provides 3TB of storage on a 3.5in SAS interface spinning at 7200 RPM with a 128MB cache. It is built for PowerEdge servers and includes the server caddy or tray. The SAS 6Gb/s connection suits enterprise storage arrays and compatible Dell systems.

Suited for PowerEdge server upgrades

IT administrators upgrading or repairing listed PowerEdge models such as the R310, R320, R410, R415, R420, R510, R515, R520, R610, R620, R710, R720, R720xd, T310, T320, T410, T420, T610, T620 and T710 will find direct compatibility. Buyers without a SAS backplane or RAID controller, or those needing a different drive bay size, should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 3.5in SAS drive into a PowerEdge R710, and what step is often missed?

Slide the drive into the supplied caddy until the SAS connector seats firmly, then lock the caddy handle — the handle click is the step many forget.

What maintenance or replacement will the ST3000NM0023 need over time?

The 7200 RPM mechanical drive may eventually require replacement if SMART reallocated-sector counts rise or bearing noise increases.

What limit appears first during sustained writes on the 6Gb/s SAS interface?

The 128 MB cache fills quickly, so the 7200 RPM platter speed becomes the throughput bottleneck under continuous load.
