Deskstar 7K1000.C 160GB SATA drive
The HGST Deskstar 7K1000.C is a 160GB 3.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM. It connects through a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface and is built for desktop computers that need reliable mechanical storage. The drive uses a halogen-free design and delivers up to 18 percent idle power savings over the previous generation product. It suits everyday computing workloads in consumer or commercial systems.
Compatibility check for SATA 3.0Gb/s
Verify that your motherboard or controller provides a free SATA 3.0Gb/s port and that the chassis has an available 3.5-inch drive bay with mounting points. Confirm the power supply includes a spare SATA power connector for the drive. The retail package may vary between retail and OEM packing, so check whether cables or brackets are included before installation.
Upgrade from lower-capacity or slower drives
This drive replaces older desktop hard drives with smaller capacities or lower rotational speeds. The 7200 RPM spindle and 13 percent media transfer rate boost over the predecessor make the jump worthwhile when faster sequential access matters. It is not for builders who need higher capacities, solid-state speeds, or modern interfaces beyond SATA 3.0Gb/s.
