HGST 500 GB 7 200 RPM SATA hard drive

This new 3.5 inch internal hard drive provides 500 GB of storage on a SATA 3 Gb/s interface. The 7 200 RPM spindle speed and 32 MB cache suit everyday desktop workloads such as operating system installs, applications and local file archives. It is built for standard desktop drive bays and connects with a regular SATA data and power cable.

Check your motherboard has a free SATA port

Verify that the system board offers an available SATA connector and that the chassis includes a 3.5 inch drive bay with mounting points. The drive draws power from a standard SATA power connector, so confirm the power supply has a spare lead. No additional drivers are required for basic operation on modern operating systems.

No bundled accessories or software included

The drive ships as a bare unit without mounting screws, cables, cloning utilities or diagnostic tools. Installers must supply their own SATA data cable, power lead and any required brackets. This keeps the package simple for builders who already have the necessary parts on hand.

Questions about this item

Does the HGST HUA722050CLA330 drive ship with mounting screws or SATA cables, or must they be purchased separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare 3.5 inch SATA unit; mounting screws and data cables are not included and must be sourced separately.

Should I choose this 500 GB 7200 RPM model or a different capacity for a desktop that needs fast boot and application loading?

This 500 GB model with 7200 RPM and 32 MB cache suits general desktop use; select a larger capacity only if you need more storage space.

What does the 3 Gb/s SATA interface mean for actual transfer speeds when the drive is installed in a modern motherboard?

The 3 Gb/s SATA link caps the interface at roughly 300 MB/s, but the drive’s sustained throughput will be lower, limited by its 7200 RPM platters and 32 MB cache.
