Dell ST3250312AS 250 GB SATA hard drive

This 3.5-inch desktop drive provides 250 GB of storage on a SATA 6 Gb/s interface. It spins at 7200 RPM with an 8 MB cache and supports NCQ for improved command ordering. The unit is supplied new in Dell V174X packaging.

Suits builds that need a basic mechanical drive

Buyers who want more capacity or faster transfer rates should look elsewhere. Systems limited to SATA 3 Gb/s will still work but at reduced throughput. The 250 GB size may be tight for modern operating systems and large media libraries.

SATA 6 Gb/s interface determines compatibility

The drive connects to any standard 3.5-inch SATA port on a desktop motherboard or controller. Verify that your system has a free SATA data connector and matching power lead before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s drive work with my older motherboard that only supports SATA 3Gb/s?

Yes, the SATA 6Gb/s interface is backward compatible with SATA 3Gb/s ports. The drive will operate at the slower 3Gb/s speed without any configuration changes.

How can I confirm the ST3250312AS is running at 7200RPM with NCQ enabled after installation?

Check the drive model and rotational speed in your BIOS or UEFI firmware screen. In Windows, open Device Manager, expand Disk Drives, right-click the drive, select Properties, go to the Details tab, and verify NCQ support under the relevant property.

Does the V174X 250GB 3.5in LFF hard drive ship with mounting screws or a SATA data cable?

The drive is supplied as a bare unit only. You will need to provide your own 3.5in mounting screws and a standard SATA data cable, plus a SATA power connector from your power supply.
