500 GB desktop hard drive

This 3.5 inch SATA hard drive provides 500 GB of storage for desktop computers. It operates at 7200 RPM with a 16 MB cache buffer. The drive is supplied new and ready for installation in a standard drive bay.

SATA 6 Gb/s interface

The single specification that determines compatibility is the SATA 6 Gb/s interface. Your motherboard or controller must provide a matching SATA data port and a corresponding power connector from the power supply. Without this interface the drive cannot be used.

Fits a standard 3.5 inch bay

The drive requires a free 3.5 inch drive bay and one SATA data cable plus a SATA power lead. It adds 500 GB of capacity without occupying an M.2 slot or a PCIe lane. Builders who need more storage or a faster solid-state drive should consider other options.

Questions about this item

What does the 7200 RPM speed deliver in a desktop PC?

The 7200 RPM spindle provides faster data access than slower drives, improving OS boot times and application load speeds in a desktop system.

What does the SATA 6Gb/s interface limit in practice?

The SATA 6Gb/s link caps maximum sequential throughput at 6 Gb/s, so sustained read and write speeds cannot exceed this interface ceiling.

Will this 3.5 inch drive fit a standard desktop drive bay?

Yes, the 3.5 inch form factor matches standard desktop internal bays and uses regular SATA data and power connectors for installation.
