Capacity and Use Case
The GoHardDrive 3TB 3.5" internal hard drive provides three terabytes of storage for desktop PCs, Macs, CCTV DVRs and NAS units. It suits users who need a large, affordable volume for daily computing, media libraries or surveillance footage. Buyers who want faster application loading or boot times should consider solid-state storage instead.
Interface Limits
The drive connects via SATA 6.0Gb/s, which caps the maximum interface throughput at six gigabits per second. Real-world sustained transfer rates will be lower and are governed by the IntelliPower spindle speed that varies between 5400 and 7200 RPM. The 64MB cache helps smooth burst operations but cannot overcome the physical limits of the mechanical platters.
Compatibility Check
Verify that your system has a free 3.5" drive bay and a spare SATA data port on the motherboard or controller card. A SATA power connector from the power supply is also required. The bare-drive packaging means no mounting screws or cables are included, so ensure you have those on hand before installation.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 3TB model or look for a different capacity?
The drive is supplied only as a 3TB unit, so choose this capacity if it matches the storage space you need for daily computing, CCTV DVR or NAS use.
What does the IntelliPower 5400-7200RPM range mean for real-world speed?
IntelliPower varies spindle speed between 5400 and 7200RPM to balance performance and power draw, giving faster bursts during heavy loads and quieter operation during light use.
How fast can the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface actually move data on this drive?
The SATA 6.0Gb/s link caps at 6.0Gb/s, but sustained throughput is limited by the mechanical platters and 64MB cache, so real-world transfer rates will be lower than the interface maximum.
