Dell 500 GB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive

This 3.5-inch internal hard drive delivers 500 GB of storage on a SATA 3 Gbps interface. It spins at 7200 RPM with a 64 MB cache and ships in new condition with zero powered-on hours. The package includes a Dell R Series caddy for direct installation.

Suited for desktop storage upgrades and replacements

Builders needing a 3.5-inch SATA drive for mass storage, backup volumes or operating-system installs will find the capacity and spindle speed appropriate. Systems that require a 2.5-inch form factor, a 6 Gbps SATA link or solid-state performance should consider other options.

SATA 3 Gbps interface determines host compatibility

The drive communicates over a 3 Gbps SATA connection, so the host controller must provide a matching SATA port. Verify the motherboard or controller specification before purchase.
