Seagate Constellation 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM SAS 6Gb/s HDD

The Seagate ST3000NM0023 is a 3TB hard disk drive in the 3.5 inch form factor that connects through a 6Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI interface. It spins at 7200 RPM and uses a 128MB cache, giving servers steady throughput and quick access to frequently requested data.

This drive was built with round-the-clock workloads in mind. Its mechanical design and firmware work together so that performance stays consistent even when large volumes of data move through the array day after day. Because it relies on SAS signaling, it fits naturally into rackmount servers, external storage enclosures, and enterprise JBOD shelves that already offer backplane connections for this protocol.

Typical uses include virtual machine storage, log file retention, and bulk media archives where capacity matters just as much as dependable operation. Data center teams can populate RAID groups with multiple units to create dense, reliable pools of storage, while IT administrators running branch office servers will appreciate the ability to slot the drive into an existing SAS backplane without extra adapters. It is not intended for desktop computers or home NAS enclosures that only accept SATA drives.

Whether you are refreshing an aging storage node or expanding a growing cluster, the Seagate ST3000NM0023 provides a simple path to additional capacity without sacrificing the predictable performance required in enterprise environments.

Highlights:

• 3TB capacity supports large datasets, backups, and archives
• SAS 6Gb/s interface integrates with servers that use Serial Attached SCSI backplanes
• 7200 RPM spindle speed maintains steady read and write throughput
• 128MB cache helps reduce latency during frequent data requests
• Designed for continuous 24x7 duty cycles in demanding data center workloads
• Fits standard 3.5 inch bays that are common in rackmount servers and storage arrays
