Product Identity
The Seagate ST3250824A is a 250GB 3.5-inch desktop internal hard drive from the BarraCuda 7200.9 series. It uses an IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 interface and spins at 7200 RPM with an 8MB cache. The drive is supplied as a bare unit in new condition.
Suitability
This drive suits owners of legacy systems that require a replacement IDE drive with 250GB capacity and 7200 RPM performance. It is not for builders whose motherboards lack an IDE connector or who need a higher-capacity drive than 250GB.
Deciding Specification
The IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 interface is the specification that determines compatibility. Verify that the target system provides a matching 40-pin IDE port before purchase.

Domande su questo articolo
Will the 3.5 inch form factor fit my standard desktop drive bay?
Yes, the 3.5 inch form factor matches standard desktop internal drive bays and uses the IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 interface connector.
What is the correct master or slave jumper setting for the IDE Ultra ATA100 interface during installation?
Set the jumper to master for a single drive or the primary drive on the cable; set to slave only if sharing the IDE channel with another device.
How often should I check the drive health given the 11ms average seek time and 4.16ms average latency?
Monitor SMART attributes regularly; the 7200 RPM mechanism with 8MB cache is rated for best-in-class operating and non-operating shock resistance.
