Toshiba HDD3A02 1TB 7200 RPM 16MB SAS 3.5" internal hard drive

Server-grade SAS storage

The Toshiba HDD3A02 is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive built around a Serial Attached SCSI interface for enterprise environments. It delivers 1TB of capacity at 7200 RPM with a 16MB cache, targeting administrators who need reliable nearline storage in compatible servers or external arrays.

Capacity and headroom

One terabyte provides ample room for operating-system images, application binaries and moderate database workloads on a single spindle. The 7200 RPM spindle and 16MB buffer sustain steady sequential throughput, but random I/O-heavy tasks such as heavy virtualisation or transactional databases will exhaust IOPS headroom before the space fills.

Bare-drive delivery

The unit ships as a bare drive without cables, brackets, mounting screws or management software. Integration therefore requires a backplane or controller that supplies SAS power and data connectors plus any mechanical hardware the chassis demands.
