Enterprise SAS storage drive

The HGST Ultrastar 7K3000 Clar2000 is a 2TB enterprise hard drive with a 7200 RPM spindle speed and a 64 MB cache. It connects via a SAS 6Gb/s interface and uses a 3.5 inch form factor. The unit has been erased to DoD 5220.22 M standards and tested for health.

Suited for servers and arrays

This drive fits enterprise storage arrays, servers and backup appliances that accept 3.5 inch SAS drives. Buyers who need a drive for a desktop PC or laptop should look elsewhere because the SAS interface is not compatible with those systems. It is sold as used with a minimum 90% health rating.

SAS 6Gb/s interface requirement

The single specification that decides fitment is the SAS 6Gb/s interface; the system must provide a matching SAS backplane or controller. Without that connection the drive cannot be used. The 2TB capacity and 7200 RPM speed are secondary to the interface match.

Questions about this item

How do I install this 3.5" SAS drive in a server backplane?

Slide the drive into a 3.5-inch hot-swap bay until the SAS connector seats firmly; the common mistake is forcing it before the alignment pins engage.

What maintenance will this enterprise SAS drive need over its life?

No routine maintenance is required; if a sector error appears, the drive should be replaced rather than repaired.

What is the first limit reached under sustained write workloads?

The 6 Gb/s SAS interface bandwidth saturates before the 7200 RPM platters or 64 MB cache can become a bottleneck.
