Deskstar 7K1000 500 GB desktop drive
The Hitachi GST Deskstar 7K1000 is a 3.5 inch internal hard drive built for desktop computers. It delivers 500 GB of storage on a SATA 3.0 Gb/s interface. The 7200 RPM spindle speed and 16 MB cache suit everyday computing workloads.
Capacity and headroom at 500 GB
The 500 GB capacity holds operating systems, applications and personal files for typical home or office use. The 7200 RPM rotation and 16 MB buffer keep sequential throughput steady for media playback and document editing. Heavy video libraries or large game collections will exceed the available space.
SATA 3.0 Gb/s interface limits
The drive connects through a SATA 3.0 Gb/s link, capping maximum transfer rates at that bandwidth. Mechanical latency and the 16 MB cache size restrict sustained performance compared to faster interfaces. Systems requiring higher throughput or lower access times will need a different storage technology.

Questions about this item
Will the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface work with my older motherboard that only has SATA 1.5Gb/s ports?
Yes, the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface is backward compatible and will operate at 1.5Gb/s speeds when connected to an older SATA 1.5Gb/s port.
How can I verify the drive is running at its rated 7200 RPM after installation?
Use a system information tool such as CrystalDiskInfo or the BIOS hardware monitor to confirm the rotational speed is reported as 7200 RPM.
Does the retail box include a SATA data cable and mounting screws for a 3.5" bay?
The drive is supplied in bulk packaging, so only the HDT721050SLA360 unit is included; cables and screws must be purchased separately.
