IBM HUS723020ALS640 3TB 7200RPM SAS 3.5" internal hard drive

SKU CH-C5DA-Y52HB

3 TB 7200 RPM 3.5-inch SAS internal hard drive with IBM System X caddy

  • 3 TB capacity stores large datasets
  • 7200 RPM spindle speed enables fast sequential access
  • 6 Gbps SAS interface connects to enterprise controllers
  • Includes IBM System X caddy for tool-less installation
  • 5 inch form factor fits standard server bays

3 TB SAS 6 Gbps nearline drive

This 3 TB 3.5 inch internal hard drive runs at 7200 RPM on a SAS 6 Gbps interface. It is supplied new with an IBM System X caddy for hot-swap bays. The HUS723020ALS640 is built for enterprise storage arrays and compatible servers.

Suited for SAS hot-swap bays

The drive fits servers and storage enclosures that accept 3.5 inch SAS drives with a 6 Gbps link and a hot-swap tray. It will not work in systems that lack a SAS backplane or hot-swap caddy support. Buyers needing a different interface or a non-hot-swap form factor should look elsewhere.

SAS 6 Gbps interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the 3.5 inch SAS 6 Gbps interface. Your host controller, backplane and caddy must all support this exact interface for the drive to function.

Questions about this item

How long can the HUS723020ALS640 run continuously at 7200RPM before thermal throttling becomes a limit?

The 3000GB nearline SAS drive is built for continuous operation at 7200RPM; sustained throughput stays at the 6Gbps interface ceiling as long as the chassis provides adequate airflow across the 3.5" form factor.

What noise and heat levels should I expect from the HUS723020ALS640 when it runs all day in a server bay?

At 7200RPM the drive emits typical mechanical seek sound and its 2.0 pound mass dissipates heat through the aluminium casing; a standard server fan curve keeps temperatures within the manufacturer's operating range.

Which controller or backplane must I already have to connect the HUS723020ALS640 SAS interface?

You need a SAS 6Gbps host bus adapter or a server backplane with 3.5" SAS ports; the included IBM System X caddy fits standard hot-swap bays that accept the 3.5" SAS connector.
