Deskstar 7K3000 2TB SATA Drive

The HGST Deskstar 7K3000 is a 2TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for desktop computers. It spins at 7200 RPM with a 64MB cache and connects via a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. This bare drive suits daily computing workloads in home or office systems.

Who This Suits and Who Should Look Elsewhere

This drive fits users who need a 2TB SATA hard drive for standard desktop storage, backups or operating system installs. Buyers who want faster access times, silent operation or a smaller 2.5-inch form factor should look at solid-state alternatives.

The Spec That Decides Fit

The SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and 3.5-inch form factor determine whether this drive fits your motherboard and case. Verify your system has a free SATA data port, a SATA power connector and a 3.5-inch drive bay before purchase.

Questions about this item

What does the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface cap in practice?

The 6.0Gb/s SATA link sets a 6 Gbit/s signalling ceiling; actual throughput depends on the 7200 RPM platters and 64MB cache.

What physical space and mounting does the 3.5" Deskstar 7K3000 require?

It fits a standard 3.5-inch drive bay and uses the regular SATA data and power connectors.

How is the bare drive installed, and what step is often missed?

Secure the drive in the bay, attach both SATA cables, then initialise and format the 2TB volume in the OS before use.
