Capacity and interface

This HPE Midline drive provides three terabytes of storage on a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface. It fits a standard 3.5-inch internal bay and spins at 7200 rpm. The SLC NAND flash memory type supports the drive's firmware and caching operations.

Sustained workload behaviour

The 7200 rpm spindle speed delivers consistent throughput for sequential reads and writes during extended sessions. SATA 3.0Gb/s bandwidth sets the ceiling for sustained transfer rates. The Midline classification indicates design for nearline storage workloads rather than heavy transactional databases.

Installation checklist

Verify that the host system has a free 3.5-inch drive bay and a SATA data cable. Confirm the power supply includes a SATA power connector for the drive. Ensure the motherboard or controller supports SATA 3.0Gb/s operation for full performance.

Questions about this item

How much power and heat does the 7200 rpm 3.5" SATA drive produce during all-day operation?

The 7200 rpm spindle speed and 3.5" form factor mean typical mid-range power draw and heat; ensure your case airflow handles a 3 lb drive running continuously.

Which cables and bay does the SATA/300 interface need to work in my system?

You need a standard SATA data cable, a SATA power connector from your PSU, and an available 3.5" internal drive bay measuring at least 5.8" high, 8.7" wide and 11.6" deep.

Will the SATA/300 interface run at full speed on an older motherboard with only SATA 1.5Gb/s ports?

The drive's SATA 3.0Gb/s interface is backward compatible; it will operate at the slower 1.5Gb/s rate on older ports without any configuration changes.
