Enterprise 3 TB SATA drive
The HGST HUS724030ALA640 is a 3.5 inch internal hard drive built for enterprise storage arrays and servers. It delivers 3 TB of capacity on a SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface with a 7200 RPM spindle and 64 MB cache. The bare-drive packaging suits system integrators and IT departments deploying high-density capacity tiers.
Sustained 24x7 workload profile
Rated for 2.0 million hours MTBF, the drive is engineered for continuous 24x7 operation in capacity-optimised applications. The 7200 RPM speed and 64 MB buffer maintain steady throughput during long sequential writes and heavy multi-user access. Optional bulk data encryption secures data at rest without host-side overhead.
Standard 3.5 inch SATA installation
The 26.1 mm height matches the standard 3.5 inch form factor, so it fits any compatible drive bay or hot-swap tray using regular SATA data and power cables. No special mounting hardware or firmware preparation is required. Builders needing SAS connectivity or a smaller 2.5 inch footprint should select a different model.

Questions about this item
How much power does the 7200 RPM HUS724030ALA640 draw and how hot does it get when running 24x7?
The enterprise-class drive is rated for 24x7 operation with a 2.0 million hour MTBF, and its 26.1 mm height fits standard 3.5-inch bays for typical server cooling.
What cabling and controller does the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface on the 0F14689 require?
A standard SATA data cable and a SATA power connector from the PSU are needed; the drive plugs directly into any SATA host port.
Will the 3TB 64MB cache drive work in an older desktop that only has SATA 3Gb/s ports?
The SATA 6.0Gb/s interface negotiates link speed automatically, so the drive functions on legacy SATA ports at the port's maximum rate.
