Product Identity
This is a new HGST Deskstar internal hard drive with 250GB capacity, 7200RPM spindle speed and a 3.5" SATA 1.5Gb/s interface. It includes an 8MB buffer and ships with a caddy for Dell system installation. The drive suits users replacing a failed desktop drive or adding basic bulk storage to an older SATA platform.
Ideal Use Cases
The drive fits desktop PCs and workstations that accept a 3.5" SATA 1.5Gb/s drive and need modest capacity for operating system, applications or archival files. Buyers who want more storage capacity, a faster 3Gb/s or 6Gb/s SATA link, or a solid-state drive for lower latency should consider other options.
Deciding Specification
The single specification that decides fit is the 1.5Gb/s SATA interface; the motherboard or controller must support this first-generation SATA speed for the drive to operate correctly.
Highlights
- 250 GB capacity stores large file collections
- 7200 RPM spindle delivers quick data access
- 8 MB cache buffers bursts for smoother throughput
- SATA 1.5 Gb/s interface fits legacy desktop boards
- Includes caddy tray for easy 3.5" bay mounting

Questions about this item
Does the HDS722525VLSA80 need a 3.5-inch drive bay and a SATA data cable to work?
Yes, the drive fits a standard 3.5-inch bay and connects via a SATA data cable to a 1.5 Gb/s or faster SATA port, plus a SATA power cable from the PSU.
Will the 1.5 Gb/s SATA interface on this 250 GB drive limit performance on a motherboard with 3 Gb/s or 6 Gb/s ports?
The drive negotiates down to 1.5 Gb/s automatically; it will work on faster ports but cannot exceed its native 1.5 Gb/s link speed.
How can I confirm the HDS722525VLSA80 is running at 7200 RPM after installation?
Check the reported rotational speed in BIOS or a SMART tool such as CrystalDiskInfo; it should show 7200 RPM and the drive should be detected at its full 250 GB capacity.
