IBM 3TB SAS 7200rpm 3.5in hot-swap drive with tray

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.
