3 TB 7200 RPM desktop drive

This 3.5 inch internal hard drive provides 3 TB of storage on a SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface. It spins at 7200 RPM with a 64 MB cache and is built for daily computing workloads.

Bare-drive installation notes

The unit ships as a bare drive without cables or brackets, so you must supply a SATA data cable and a SATA power connector from the host system. Ensure the BIOS or operating system recognises the full 3 TB capacity; older controllers may require a firmware update or GPT partitioning to avoid capacity truncation.

SATA 6.0 Gb/s practical limits

The interface tops out at 6.0 Gb/s, while sustained sequential throughput reaches 171 MB/s. The drive is rated for 24 x 7 operation at up to 100 % duty cycle, making it suitable for servers, RAID, NAS and DVR use within those bandwidth constraints.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the drive is running at 7200 RPM with a 64MB cache after installation?

Use a system information tool such as CrystalDiskInfo or the BIOS/UEFI SMART data to verify the reported rotation speed of 7200 RPM and a buffer size of 64MB.

What does the bare-drive packaging include and what must I provide separately?

The box contains only the 3.5" hard drive; you must supply a SATA data cable, a SATA power connector from your power supply, and mounting screws for the drive bay.

Which capacity version should I choose for a DVR that needs continuous 24x7 recording?

The 3TB model delivers sustained sequential rates of 171 MB/s and is designed for 100% duty-cycle operation, making it suitable for non-stop DVR recording.
