Capacity and interface
The HP QK703A is a 3.5 inch internal hard drive with a 3TB capacity and a SAS 6Gb/s interface. It spins at 7200 RPM and is designed for server environments that require reliable bulk storage. The bare-drive packaging means it arrives without a mounting tray or cables.
Packaging and compatibility
Supplied as a bare drive, the unit includes no carrier, screws or software utilities. System builders must provide a compatible SAS backplane or controller and a 3.5 inch drive bay to install it. The drive is qualified by HP for use in supported server platforms.
Build and connectors
The 3.5 inch form factor uses a standard SAS connector for both data and power, allowing hot-plug capability in supported enclosures. A 7200 RPM spindle speed delivers consistent throughput for sequential workloads. The bare metal construction is intended for installation inside a locked server chassis.

Questions about this item
What maintenance or replacement will the HP QK703A 3TB SAS drive need later?
As a mechanical hard drive, the bearings and spindle motor will wear over years of continuous operation; plan to replace the drive once SMART attributes show reallocated sectors or seek errors rise.
What limit appears first on the 7200 RPM SAS 6Gb/s interface during sustained use?
The 7200 RPM spindle caps sequential throughput at the drive's sustained media rate, so long writes hit that mechanical ceiling before the 6Gb/s SAS link saturates.
How much noise, heat and power does the 3.5" 7.2K drive produce running all day in a server?
The 3.5 inch 7.2K drive emits typical enterprise seek noise, warm exhaust air and draws standard 3.5 inch HDD power; ensure the chassis provides adequate airflow for continuous duty.
