SKU CH-2WEV-JT78A

A 3 TB 3.5" SATA hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM with 128 MB cache for server storage

  • 3 TB capacity stores large data sets
  • 7200 RPM spindle speed enables fast sequential access
  • 128 MB cache buffers bursts for smoother throughput
  • 6 Gb/s SATA interface connects to standard server backplanes
  • 5 inch form factor fits conventional drive bays

Server-grade 3 TB SATA drive

This is a 3.5-inch SATA hard drive with a 3000 GB capacity, 7200 RPM spindle speed and 128 MB cache. It is built on the Seagate Constellation ES.3 platform and supplied under the Dell ST3000NM0033 part number. The drive connects via a 6 Gb/s SATA interface and is intended for internal server deployment.

Suited for array workloads not desktop boot

The drive targets RAID arrays, NAS units and other multi-drive server environments that benefit from enterprise firmware and vibration tolerance. It is not aimed at single-drive desktop boot or gaming workloads where lower power draw or acoustic tuning are priorities.

3000 GB capacity at 7200 RPM

The single specification that decides fit is the 3000 GB capacity combined with a 7200 RPM spindle speed on a 6 Gb/s SATA interface. Buyers needing a different capacity, a lower spindle speed or a non-SATA interface should look at other models.

Questions about this item

How much noise and heat does the 7200 RPM spindle produce during continuous operation?

The drive spins at 7200 RPM with a 6 Gb/s SATA interface and 128 MB cache; typical enterprise 3.5″ drives at this speed run at moderate acoustics and require standard chassis airflow.

What host connector and power cables must already be present for this 3.5″ SATA drive?

A free SATA data port on the motherboard or controller plus a SATA power connector from the supply are required; the drive uses the standard 3.5″ SATA 6 Gb/s interface.

Will this 3 TB Constellation ES.3 work in an older desktop that only supports SATA 3 Gb/s?

Yes, the 6 Gb/s SATA interface is backward compatible with 3 Gb/s ports; the drive will operate at the slower link speed while providing 3000 GB capacity.
