DELL H962F WD2502ABYS 250GB 7.2K RPM 3Gb/s 3.5" SATA internal hard drive

Dell H962F 250 GB SATA drive

This Dell H962F is a 250 GB 3.5 inch SATA hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM with a 16 MB buffer. It is intended for desktop systems that need a basic mechanical drive for operating system or data storage. The unit ships new with zero power-on hours and includes an R Series caddy for Dell chassis. Buyers who need higher capacity or solid-state speed should consider other options.

Installation with included caddy

The supplied R Series caddy lets the drive slide directly into compatible Dell bays without extra screws or adapters. A standard SATA data cable and SATA power connector are all that is required. The 3 Gb/s interface negotiates automatically with faster controllers. Installers must ensure the BIOS detects the drive before loading an operating system.

Sustained workload behaviour

At 7200 RPM the drive delivers consistent throughput for sequential reads and writes across the 250 GB platters. The 16 MB cache absorbs small random bursts without stalling the spindle. Mechanical latency remains constant during long copy jobs or backups. Surface temperature rises gradually under continuous activity but stays within normal operating limits.
