Hitachi Ultrastar 7K3000 3TB Enterprise HDD (Renewed) – 7200RPM, 64MB Cache, SATA III

Overview

The Hitachi Ultrastar 7K3000 3TB enterprise hard drive is built for demanding, always-on workloads. With a 7200 RPM spindle, a generous 64 MB cache, and a modern SATA III interface, this drive is designed to balance performance with steady reliability. This renewed unit maintains core enterprise features that data centers and advanced workstations rely on, aiming to minimize downtime and keep critical data accessible under sustained use.

In field deployments, the Ultrastar 7K3000 emphasizes reliability as a core attribute. It undergoes stringent tests during development and continuous manufacturing testing, contributing to a track record of robust operation in multi-drive environments. Rotational Vibration Safeguard (RVS) technology helps stabilize performance in RAID arrays and dense server chassis, supporting consistent data access even when multiple drives operate in parallel.

Performance and efficiency

Running at 7200 RPM, this drive delivers stronger sustained transfer performance than slower RPM models while keeping power use in check. When compared to the prior generation (7K2000), it can offer up to a 155% boost in sustained data transfer rates and up to a 120% improvement in watts-per-GB, translating to higher throughput with better energy efficiency in busy systems.
