HGST P7K500 500 GB desktop drive

Suits builds needing a standard SATA hard drive

This drive fits desktop systems that have a free 3.5 inch bay and a SATA 3.0 Gb/s port. It is not for laptops or small-form-factor PCs that only accept 2.5 inch drives, nor for motherboards that lack a SATA data connector.

SATA 3.0 Gb/s interface decides compatibility

The drive uses the SATA 3.0 Gb/s interface, so the host must provide a matching SATA port and cable. If the system only offers a different interface, this drive will not work.
