3 TB SAS 7200 RPM internal hard drive

This 3.5 inch SAS drive delivers 3 TB of storage at 7200 RPM with a 6 Gb/s interface. It is supplied as a bare drive with installation documentation and a safety flyer. The unit is designed for server environments where capacity and sustained throughput are required.

Server storage and bulk data workloads

The drive suits administrators expanding array capacity or deploying near-line storage in SAS backplanes. It is not intended for desktop PCs lacking a SAS controller or for builds that need the lower latency of 10 000 or 15 000 RPM enterprise drives.

Capacity headroom for archives and backups

Three terabytes comfortably hold large backup sets, media libraries and log archives in a single spindle. Performance tapers when the drive serves highly random, multi-user databases that demand faster seek times or higher IOPS than 7200 RPM can sustain.

Questions about this item

What host interface does my server need to run the 90Y8577 3TB SAS 6Gb/s drive?

The drive connects through a SAS 6Gb/s port on a RAID controller or HBA that supports 6 Gb/s SAS signalling.

Can I mix this 3.5" 7200 RPM SAS drive with 2.5" 10000 RPM SAS drives in the same array?

Different form factors and spindle speeds will prevent them from sharing a single RAID array; use separate arrays or a controller that manages mixed drive types independently.

How do I verify the 90Y8577 is operating at 6Gb/s after installation?

Check the controller BIOS or management utility — it should report the link speed as 6 Gb/s for this drive.
