Dell Gm248 250GB 7200RPM SATA drive

The Dell Gm248 is a 250GB 3.5 inch internal hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM with a 16MB cache. It connects via a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface and uses a low-profile 1.0 inch height. This new drive suits desktop PCs needing standard mechanical storage.

Suits older desktops and low-profile bays

This drive fits systems with 3.5 inch bays that require a 1.0 inch z-height, such as certain small-form-factor Dell chassis. Builders needing larger capacities or faster solid-state speeds should look at alternative storage types.

Sustained workloads stay within mechanical limits

Under continuous read or write activity the 7200 RPM platters and 16MB buffer deliver steady throughput constrained by the SATA 3.0Gb/s link. The low-profile form factor does not alter the drive’s thermal or acoustic profile during extended use.

Questions about this item

Does my desktop need a free 3.5" bay and a SATA 3.0Gb/s port to install this drive?

Yes, the drive uses a 3.5" form factor with a 1.0-inch low-profile height and connects via a standard SATA 3.0Gb/s interface and power cable.

Will this 7200 RPM SATA drive work reliably on an older motherboard that only supports SATA 1.5Gb/s?

The SATA 3.0Gb/s interface is backward compatible, so the drive will operate at the older 1.5Gb/s speed without any configuration changes.

How can I confirm the 250GB capacity and 16MB cache are recognised correctly after installation?

Check the drive properties in your operating system or BIOS; both should report 250GB capacity and the drive model will identify the 16MB cache.
