What is the average weight of a SATA hard drive for desktops of 3.5" form factor. I think they make up for most of the weight inside the cabinet. Is it usually over 2.2 pounds (1 Kg)??

  • Having a quick browse around, the heftiest 3.5" drive I can see is an IronWolf 8TB drive at 780g / 1.72lb (seagate.com/www-content/datasheets/pdfs/…)

This Samsung drive is pretty common these days. Can't imagine they vary enormously...

625g, according to the mfr web site.

Over 1 kg? Probably not much more than 0.5 kg.
