3 TB 3.5" SAS Hard Drive

The HPE QK703A is a 3 TB internal hard drive with a 3.5 inch form factor and a 6Gb/s SAS interface. It spins at 7200 rpm and is qualified for HP P2000 G3 MSA array systems. This new drive is built for storage systems that require SAS connectivity and HP-qualified components.

Suited for HP MSA arrays, not for other bays

This drive fits administrators expanding or replacing disks in an HP P2000 G3 MSA array where a 3.5 inch SAS module is specified. Buyers whose enclosures accept only 2.5 inch drives or a different drive interface cannot use this unit. Systems that demand a higher spindle speed or a larger capacity than 3 TB should look at other models.

6Gb/s SAS interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the 6Gb/s SAS interface. The drive must connect to a backplane or controller that supports this exact standard. If the target system uses a different interface protocol, the drive will not function regardless of capacity or form factor.

Questions about this item

Will the 7200 rpm spindle speed become a throughput bottleneck under sustained workloads?

The 7200 rpm spindle speed determines the maximum sustained data rate of the drive; continuous heavy I/O will be limited by this mechanical rotation speed.

How much heat and noise does the drive produce when running all day?

The 3.5 inch form factor at 7200 rpm generates typical enterprise hard-drive heat and acoustic levels; adequate chassis airflow is required for continuous operation.

What controller or backplane must already be present for this SAS drive to work?

A 6Gb/s SAS host bus adapter or backplane is required; the drive is validated for HP P2000 G3 MSA array systems.
