HP 628059-B21 3TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" internal hard drive

HP 3 TB SATA Hard Drive

This HP 628059-B21 provides three terabytes of storage on a 3.5 inch SATA 3.0Gb/s interface spinning at 7200 RPM. It is built for entry servers and external storage arrays that need high capacity at a low cost per gigabyte. The drive suits workloads of 40 percent or less in non-mission critical environments. Buyers who need faster random access or heavier sustained write loads should consider other solutions.

Bare Drive Midline Build

The unit ships as a bare drive with a 3.5 inch Midline form factor intended for hot swap bays in compatible chassis. Standard SATA data and power connectors allow direct installation in servers or external enclosures without adapters. Average seek time is 8.5ms and average latency is rated at 3Gb/s. Systems that require 2.5 inch drives or a different mounting style cannot use this unit.

Thermals and Power Profile

Spindle speed of 7200 RPM produces typical mechanical drive heat and audible noise levels for a 3.5 inch Midline device. Power draw follows standard SATA 3.0Gb/s specifications for this capacity class. The drive is rated for continuous operation in entry server environments with low duty cycles. Installations without adequate airflow or vibration damping may experience higher temperatures.
