HGST HUA723020ALA640 2TB SATA 7.2K 3.5in HDD Barely Used ~41 POH (Used, Tested)
About this item
Overview
The HGST HUA723020ALA640 is a 2TB 7200RPM enterprise-class 3.5" SATA hard drive from HGST's Ultrastar 7K3000 series. Known for reliability in NAS, server, and workstation environments, these drives are well-regarded in the used server hardware market. This listing is for a unit pulled from a decommissioned system with notably low hours - approximately 8,000 power-on hours - indicating light-to-moderate use relative to the typical enterprise lifecycle.
Why These Hours Matter
Enterprise SATA drives like the Ultrastar 7K3000 are rated for 1.2 million hours MTBF and are commonly run 24/7 for 5+ years before retirement. At ~8,000 POH, these drives have significant remaining service life and represent strong value for NAS builds, backup storage, or homelab use.

The drive's own long self-test, run to completion.
- Step 3Power-on hours cross-check
Hours compared against the drive's internal logs. We never reset counters.

Condition notes
Used, Tested. Each drive has passed a full long SMART self-test with no reallocated sectors, pending sectors, or uncorrectable errors flagged. Power-on hours are approximately 8,000, which is well below the typical decommission threshold for enterprise SATA drives. Drives show normal cosmetic wear consistent with data center use (rack marks, light scuffing) but are mechanically and functionally sound.
