Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 ST380013AS 80GB 7200RPM 3.5" SATA internal hard drive

Ideal for legacy desktops and entry-level servers

This 80 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 spins at 7200 RPM and connects via a 1.5 Gbps SATA interface. The 8 MB cache helps the drive locate stored records quickly. A 3D defense system guards against external shock to improve reliability. The 3.5 inch form factor fits standard desktop bays and entry-level ATA servers or NAS units.

Upgrade from slower or smaller legacy drives

Replacing a lower-capacity or lower-RPM drive with this model adds 80 GB of space and 7200 RPM performance on a 1.5 Gbps SATA link. The jump is worth it when a system needs more room for applications or media and the motherboard only supports SATA 1.5 Gbps. It is not suited for builds that require larger capacities or faster interfaces.

Handles OS, apps and modest media libraries

The 80 GB capacity comfortably holds an operating system, everyday applications and a modest media collection. The 8 MB buffer and 7200 RPM speed keep routine file access responsive. It runs out of headroom when large game libraries, video editing projects or extensive backups exceed the available space.
