250 GB SATA 1.5 Gb/s desktop drive

The HGST HDS722525VLSA80 is a 3.5 inch internal hard drive with 250 GB capacity, 7200 RPM spindle speed and 8 MB cache. It connects through a SATA 1.5 Gb/s interface and offers an average latency of 4.17 ms. The bare-drive unit is listed as new condition and is designed for desktop storage duties.

Suitable for legacy SATA builds and basic storage

This drive fits systems that still use the original SATA 1.5 Gb/s link and need a modest 250 GB volume. Builders who require higher capacities, faster transfer rates or modern SATA revisions should look at other options. The low acoustic and power modes help in quiet or energy-conscious setups, but the drive cannot serve workloads that demand larger space or newer interface speeds.

Fits standard 3.5 inch bays with SATA power and data

The 3.5 inch form factor mounts in any regular desktop drive bay using ordinary SATA data and power cables. Its low power requirements leave more headroom for other components on the same supply. No additional adapters or special controllers are needed beyond a compatible SATA port on the motherboard or add-in card.

Questions about this item

What SATA interface version must my motherboard support for this HDS722525VLSA80 drive?

The drive uses a SATA 1.5Gb/s interface, so your motherboard needs at least a SATA 1.5Gb/s port to connect it.

Will this 7200 RPM Deskstar 7K250 work if I keep my older SATA 1.5Gb/s controller?

Yes, the drive is designed for SATA 1.5Gb/s and will operate normally on that controller without requiring a newer SATA revision.

How can I confirm the 250GB capacity and 7200 RPM speed are recognised after installation?

Check the BIOS or operating system disk utility; it should report 250GB capacity and identify the model HDS722525VLSA80 running at 7200 RPM.
