3 TB SAS hard drive for hot-swap bays
This 3 TB SAS drive spins at 7200 rpm and fits a standard 3.5-inch hot-swap tray. It connects over a 6 Gbps SAS interface and is sold new with the carrier included. The unit suits servers or storage arrays that need high-capacity, mechanically reliable bulk storage.
Replaces smaller-capacity SAS drives in the same
Moving up from a 1 TB or 2 TB SAS spindle gives more space per drive bay without changing cabling or backplane infrastructure. The upgrade makes sense when rack density matters and the workload tolerates 7200 rpm latency. Buyers who need faster random access or solid-state endurance should look elsewhere.
Highlights
- 3 TB capacity for large-scale data storage
- 7200 rpm spindle speed for responsive read performance

Questions about this item
What 3.5-inch hot-swap bay and SAS backplane does the 45W7765 tray fit?
The included tray matches standard 3.5-inch hot-swap bays with a SAS-6Gbps backplane.
Which way does the SAS connector face when sliding the 45W7765 into the bay?
Insert the drive so the SAS connector engages the backplane first; the tray handle locks last.
