500 GB Deskstar T7K500 hard drive
This 3.5 inch internal hard drive delivers 500 GB of storage on a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface. It suits desktop PCs that need a straightforward mechanical drive for operating systems, applications or bulk data.
Bare drive with 7200 RPM spindle
The unit ships as a bare drive without cables or brackets, so you install it directly into a standard 3.5 inch bay. A 16 MB cache and 8.5 ms average seek time support responsive everyday performance, while Native Command Queuing and thermal monitoring help maintain consistent operation.
Check SATA port and bay clearance
Verify that your motherboard or controller provides a free SATA 3.0Gb/s port and that the case has an open 3.5 inch drive bay with mounting screws. The drive requires standard SATA power and data cables, which are not included in the bare-drive package.

Questions about this item
What does the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface cap the maximum throughput at?
The SATA 3.0Gb/s interface limits the theoretical maximum throughput to 3.0 gigabits per second, which is the speed ceiling for this drive.
What physical space and mounting does the 3.5 inch form factor require?
This 3.5 inch drive fits a standard desktop drive bay and uses the industry-standard bottom and side mounting holes.
How is the bare drive installed, and what step is often missed?
Connect the SATA data and power cables, secure the drive with four screws in the bay, and ensure the SATA data cable clicks fully into the port.
