Silver 3.5 inch SAS hard drive with hot-swap tray

HP

HP MB3000FBNWV 3TB 7200RPM 6G SAS 3.5" internal hard drive

SKU CH-A2SF-EATVZ

A 3 TB 7200 RPM SAS hard drive in a 3.5 inch form factor for internal desktop storage

  • 3 TB capacity stores large data sets
  • 7200 RPM spindle speed delivers responsive throughput
  • 6 Gb/s SAS interface enables fast host transfers
  • 5 inch form factor fits standard drive bays
  • Hot-swap tray allows drive changes without powering down

Purpose and audience

The HP MB3000FBNWV is a 3000GB internal hard drive built for desktop systems that accept 3.5in SAS drives. It suits users who need high-capacity bulk storage on a 6Gb/s SAS interface and whose chassis or backplane supports hot-swap trays.

Build and connectivity

The drive uses a single-port SAS connector that slots directly into a hot-swap carrier, so it can be inserted or removed while the system runs. At 2.0 pound it fits standard 3.5in bays, and the midline design targets continuous operation in multi-drive environments without requiring enterprise-class firmware.

Interface limits

The 6Gb/s SAS link caps sustained throughput at the interface ceiling, so sequential speeds will not exceed that boundary. Random I/O is constrained by the 7200RPM rotational latency, making the drive less suited for workloads demanding low-latency transaction rates.

Questions about this item

Does the 6 Gb/s SAS interface on the MB3000FBNWV cap real-world throughput below the link speed?

The 6 Gb/s SAS link sets the maximum bus bandwidth; sustained read and write rates on a 7200 RPM drive are limited by the mechanical media and will not reach the interface ceiling.

What physical space and mounting does the HP 3.5 inch SAS drive require?

The MB3000FBNWV fits a standard 3.5 inch internal bay and uses the unified SAS connector for both data and power.

How is the MB3000FBNWV installed in a hot-swap chassis, and which step is often missed?

Slide the drive into the hot-swap tray until the carrier locks, then press the release lever to seat the SAS connector fully; forgetting to latch the carrier is the common error.
