HPE 628061-B21 3TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" LFF internal hard drive with Smart Carrier

3TB SATA Hard Drive for Servers

This HPE 3.5-inch LFF hard drive delivers 3TB of storage over a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface at 7200 RPM. It ships with a Smart Carrier tray attached for hot-swap installation in compatible bays. The drive is designed for non mission-critical server applications and storage environments where high capacity and reliability are required. It targets workloads of 40% or less.

SATA 6.0Gb/s Interface Limits

The SATA 6.0Gb/s link caps sequential throughput at the interface ceiling, so sustained rates cannot exceed that boundary. Mechanical latency at 7200 RPM and the 40% workload guideline further bound real-world performance in busy arrays. The drive is qualified for HPE ProLiant environments and supports SMART monitoring via HPE Systems Insight Manager. Hot-swap capability depends on the backplane and carrier support in the host chassis.

3TB Capacity Decides Fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the 3TB capacity; if the application demands more storage this drive will not meet the requirement. Buyers who need a larger single volume or higher endurance for mission-critical workloads should look elsewhere. The part number 628061-B21 identifies this exact configuration for ordering and compatibility checks. No other capacity or interface variant is described by this listing.
