  • 1TB capacity stores large media libraries and backups

1 TB 7200 RPM SATA drive

This 3.5-inch desktop hard drive delivers 1000 GB of storage at 7200 RPM with a 64 MB cache. It uses a SATA 3 Gb/s interface and is supplied as a new original Dell part numbered WD1003FBYX-18Y7B0. The drive suits users who need high-capacity bulk storage for a desktop system.

Fits standard 3.5-inch SATA bays

The drive mounts in any 3.5-inch internal bay with a SATA data and power connection. Its 3 Gb/s link works with faster SATA controllers at the lower speed, leaving quicker ports free for solid-state boot drives. Builders who need a 2.5-inch form factor or a 6 Gb/s native interface cannot use this unit.

Includes 64 MB on-drive buffer

The 64 MB cache smooths burst reads and writes during multi-tasking workloads. No mounting screws, cables, brackets or software utilities are bundled, so installers must supply their own SATA data lead, power connector and any required rail kit.

Questions about this item

Will the 7200 RPM speed cause the drive to overheat during continuous operation?

The 7200 RPM motor is designed for sustained desktop workloads and operates within standard thermal limits for a 3.5-inch SATA drive when installed with proper case airflow.

What is the typical power draw of this 1 TB 7200 RPM drive under full load?

As a standard 3.5-inch SATA mechanical drive, it draws power from the system PSU via a standard SATA power connector; specific wattage varies by workload but fits typical desktop power budgets.

Does my motherboard need a specific SATA revision to support the 3 Gb/s interface?

The drive uses a SATA 3 Gb/s interface and is backward compatible with SATA 1.5 Gb/s ports, so it will work on any motherboard with a standard SATA data connector.
