Ultrastar A7K2000 500 GB 7200 RPM

The HGST Ultrastar A7K2000 HUA722050CLA330 is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive with 500 GB capacity. It spins at 7200 RPM and carries a 32 MB cache on a SATA interface. The drive is built for desktop systems that need reliable mechanical storage. It arrives in new condition with retail or OEM packing.

Upgrade from A7K1000

This model doubles the capacity of the prior Ultrastar A7K1000 generation while using fewer watts. The jump is worth it when a desktop or server needs more space without moving to a larger chassis. Buyers who want more storage than 500 GB will need a higher-capacity drive. The 7200 RPM spindle gives better overall performance than slower capacity-oriented drives.

500 GB capacity headroom

The 500 GB drive comfortably holds operating systems, applications and moderate data sets. It runs out when media libraries, large databases or backup archives exceed the available space. The SATA/300 interface and 32 MB buffer sustain steady throughput for typical desktop workloads. Hot-pluggable support allows drive swaps without powering down compatible systems.

Questions about this item

What size drive bay does the 3.5" Ultrastar A7K2000 require?

The drive fits a standard 3.5-inch internal bay and uses the regular SATA data and power connectors found on desktop motherboards and power supplies.

Which SATA cable standard matches the drive's SATA/300 interface during installation?

Connect the drive with a standard SATA data cable rated for 3 Gbit/s (SATA/300) and attach a SATA power lead from the PSU; the drive is hot-pluggable if the host controller supports it.

How often should the 7200 RPM mechanism be checked or replaced in a desktop system?

Mechanical hard drives have no scheduled service interval; monitor SMART attributes for reallocated sectors or rising seek errors and replace the unit if the health status degrades.
