A standard 3.5 inch SAS hard drive with a silver metal casing and circuit board visible on the underside

HP

HP MB3000FBNWV 3TB 7.2K RPM 6Gbps 3.5" SAS internal hard drive

SKU CH-52S7-AZ2PE

A 3 TB internal hard drive with a 7200 RPM spindle and a 6 Gbps SAS interface for desktop storage

  • 3 TB capacity stores large data sets
  • 7 200 RPM rotational speed enables fast data access
  • 6 Gbps SAS interface provides reliable data transfer
  • 5 inch form factor fits standard drive bays
  • Hot-swap capability allows drive replacement without system shutdown

Capacity and interface

This HP MB3000FBNWV drive provides 3000GB of storage in a 3.5" form factor. It spins at 7200RPM and connects through a SAS 6Gb/s interface. The unit is supplied new and weighs 2.0 pound.

Suitable use cases

The drive suits servers and storage arrays that accept 3.5" SAS hot-swap bays and benefit from midline capacity at 7200RPM. Builders whose chassis or controller only supports a different physical interface or form factor should look at something else.

Deciding specification

The single specification that decides fit is the 3.5" SAS 6Gb/s interface combined with 3.5" hot-swap mechanics. Verify that your system provides a matching SAS backplane and bay before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 7200 RPM SAS drive add to a server running all day?

The 3.5" SAS drive draws power from the backplane; its 7200 RPM spindle and controller generate measurable warmth, so plan airflow around the 2.0 pound unit to keep temperatures stable during continuous operation.

What controller or backplane must already be present for this 6Gbps SAS drive to work?

A SAS host bus adapter or RAID controller with a 6Gbps external or internal port and a 3.5" hot-swap backplane that supplies both signal and power through the SC connector.

Will this 3TB SAS drive work alongside older 3Gbps SAS drives in the same enclosure?

Yes, the 6Gbps interface negotiates down to 3Gbps, so the MB3000FBNWV can share a backplane with earlier SAS drives while each runs at its rated link speed.
