3TB SATA Hard Drive for Servers
This HPE 3.5-inch LFF hard drive delivers 3TB of storage over a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface at 7200 RPM. It ships with a Smart Carrier tray attached for hot-swap installation in compatible bays. The drive is designed for non mission-critical server applications and storage environments where high capacity and reliability are required. It targets workloads of 40% or less.
SATA 6.0Gb/s Interface Limits
The SATA 6.0Gb/s link caps sequential throughput at the interface ceiling, so sustained rates cannot exceed that boundary. Mechanical latency at 7200 RPM and the 40% workload guideline further bound real-world performance in busy arrays. The drive is qualified for HPE ProLiant environments and supports SMART monitoring via HPE Systems Insight Manager. Hot-swap capability depends on the backplane and carrier support in the host chassis.
3TB Capacity Decides Fit
The single specification that determines suitability is the 3TB capacity; if the application demands more storage this drive will not meet the requirement. Buyers who need a larger single volume or higher endurance for mission-critical workloads should look elsewhere. The part number 628061-B21 identifies this exact configuration for ordering and compatibility checks. No other capacity or interface variant is described by this listing.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 3 TB 7200 RPM LFF version or a smaller capacity for my server?
The 3 TB model gives the lowest cost per gigabyte and is built for workloads of 40 % or less, making it the economical choice for bulk storage in a ProLiant bay.
What does the 7200 RPM rating mean once the drive is installed in a ProLiant server?
At 7200 RPM the platters spin fast enough for steady sequential throughput on near-line workloads while keeping power draw modest for a 3.5-inch LFF bay.
How does the SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface limit real-world transfer speeds?
The 6.0 Gb/s link sets the bus ceiling; actual sustained reads and writes will be governed by the drive’s own 7200 RPM mechanics and the controller’s queue depth.
