GoHardDrive 500GB SATA desktop drive

The GoHardDrive WL500GSA854 is a 3.5 inch internal hard drive built for desktop PCs and CCTV DVR units. It delivers 500GB of storage on a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface. The drive spins at 5400 RPM with an 8MB cache. It is sold new as a bare drive in OEM packaging.

24/7 operation with low heat and noise

Designed for continuous 24x7 use, the drive runs cool and near-silent to suit always-on surveillance and media server workloads. Preemptive Wear Leveling and a 1 million hour MTTF rating support long-term reliability. Low power consumption helps keep system temperatures down. The standard SATA connectors fit any desktop bay or external enclosure with a SATA2 port.

Upgrade from smaller or louder desktop drives

This drive replaces lower-capacity or higher-noise mechanical drives in desktop PCs, DVRs and NAS units where quiet, cool operation matters. The jump is worth it when you need 500GB of reliable, always-on storage without the heat or sound of faster-spinning alternatives. It is not for builders who need higher transfer speeds or larger cache for intensive random workloads.

Questions about this item

Does the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface limit the 5400 RPM drive's speed?

The 3.0Gb/s link caps the theoretical maximum at 3.0 gigabits per second; the 5400 RPM mechanism typically delivers well below that ceiling.

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

The 3.5-inch form factor matches standard desktop bays and requires four side-mount screws or a tool-less tray with 3.5-inch spacing.

How is the drive installed in a DVR, and what step is often missed?

Connect the SATA data and power cables, secure the drive in the bay, then ensure the DVR menu formats the new volume before recording.
