500 GB 3.5" SATA desktop drive

This HGST Ultrastar A7K2000 model delivers 500 GB of storage on a 3.5 inch SATA 3 Gb/s interface. It spins at 7200 RPM and includes a 32 MB buffer for everyday desktop workloads. The drive is supplied new and ready for installation in standard drive bays.

Suits bulk storage on older SATA systems

This drive fits users who need affordable capacity for documents, backups or media on a motherboard with a SATA 3 Gb/s port. It is not for builders who require 6 Gb/s throughput, larger capacities or solid-state speed for operating system drives.

3 Gb/s SATA interface limits throughput

The single specification that decides fit is the 3 Gb/s SATA link, which caps maximum transfer rates below modern 6 Gb/s drives. Verify that your host controller or backplane supports this speed before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Does the 3.5" SATA drive fit a standard desktop bay?

What is the most common mistake when installing this 7200RPM SATA drive?

Forgetting to connect both the SATA data cable and the SATA power cable, or leaving the drive loose without screws in the 3.5" bay.
