DELL ST3000NM0023 3TB 7200 RPM 128MB 3.5" SAS internal hard drive

SKU CH-KK9C-CE8ZH MPN ST3000NM0023

A 3.5 inch SAS hard drive with 3TB capacity, 7200 RPM speed and 128MB cache for enterprise storage

  • 3TB capacity stores large datasets
  • 7200 RPM spindle enables faster data access
  • 128MB cache buffers frequent read and write operations
  • SAS interface suits enterprise storage arrays
  • 5 inch form factor fits standard server bays

Dell Constellation ES.3 SAS enterprise drive

This 3.5 inch drive uses a SAS interface and spins at 7200 RPM with a 128 MB cache. It is built for servers and storage arrays that require dual-port connectivity and enterprise firmware. Desktop PCs and consumer NAS units without a SAS controller cannot use it.

3 TB capacity with 128 MB cache headroom

The 3 TB capacity suits bulk data, backup targets and near-line archives where sequential throughput matters. The 128 MB cache absorbs write bursts and read-ahead workloads. Random I/O performance and latency-sensitive databases will run out of IOPS before capacity is exhausted.

No accessories or software included

The drive ships as a bare unit in OEM or retail packaging that may vary. No mounting rails, cables, management utilities or firmware discs are bundled. Buyers must supply a SAS HBA or RAID card, backplane power and their own drive-management software.

Questions about this item

Will this 3.5" SAS drive work in a server backplane that currently runs 6 Gbps SAS drives?

Yes, the ST3000NM0023 uses a 6 Gbps SAS interface and fits standard 3.5-inch bays, so it will operate alongside existing 6 Gbps SAS drives in the same backplane.

How can I confirm the drive is running at 7200 RPM after installation?

Check the drive identification in your RAID controller BIOS or OS utility; it will report the model ST3000NM0023 with a rotational speed of 7200 RPM and 128 MB cache.

Does the drive ship with a SAS data cable or mounting screws, or do I need to source them separately?

The unit is supplied as an OEM bare drive; SAS data cables and 3.5-inch mounting hardware are not included and must be obtained separately.
