Enterprise 4TB SATA Drive

The HGST Ultrastar 7K4000 0F14683 is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for enterprise storage arrays. It delivers 4TB of capacity at 7200 RPM with a 64MB cache over a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. The bare-drive unit is specified at 2.0 million hours MTBF for 24x7 operation.

Suits high-capacity archive and bulk-data workloads

This drive suits administrators who need large, reliable volumes for capacity-optimised applications running continuously. It is not for builders who need the low latency of solid-state storage, nor for systems that require hardware encryption without the optional bulk-data encryption feature.

Deciding spec: 7200 RPM spindle speed

The 7200 RPM spindle speed determines the sustained throughput and access latency you can expect from this SATA drive. If your workload demands higher random IOPS or lower power per terabyte, a different storage class will be a better fit.

Questions about this item

Will this 4TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s drive work in an older desktop that only supports SATA 3.0Gb/s?

Yes, the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface is backward compatible with SATA 3.0Gb/s ports; the drive will operate at the slower link speed.

How can I verify the 64MB cache and 7200 RPM speed are active after installation?

Check the drive model HUS724040ALE640 in your BIOS or use a tool like CrystalDiskInfo to confirm the reported RPM and cache size.

Does the bare-drive packaging include a SATA data cable or mounting screws for a 3.5" bay?

No, the bare-drive package contains only the 3.5" drive itself; you must supply a SATA data cable, a SATA power lead, and 3.5" mounting screws separately.
