HGST

HGST Ultrastar A7K2000 HUA722010CLA330 1TB 7200RPM 32MB SATA 3.5in internal hard drive

SKU CH-VEH5-SNDH1

A 1 TB desktop hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM with 32 MB cache over a 3 Gb/s SATA interface

  • 1 TB capacity for large file storage
  • 7200 RPM spindle speed for responsive data access
  • 32 MB cache buffer for smoother read/write performance
  • SATA 3 Gb/s interface for broad desktop compatibility
  • Ultrastar A7K2000 series built for continuous operation

Capacity and fit

This HGST Ultrastar A7K2000 drive provides 1TB of storage in a standard 3.5in form factor. It connects through a SATA 3Gb/s interface and spins at 7200RPM with a 32MB cache. The bare drive suits desktop builders who need reliable bulk capacity for everyday workloads.

Sustained workload behaviour

The 7200RPM spindle speed delivers consistent throughput for sequential reads and writes during extended transfers. The 32MB buffer helps smooth burst activity but does not eliminate the mechanical latency inherent to rotating media under heavy random I/O. Performance scales with the SATA 3Gb/s link rather than saturating a faster bus.

Thermals noise and power

As a mechanical 3.5in drive it generates audible seek noise and vibration during normal operation. Heat output is typical for a 7200RPM SATA unit and requires standard chassis airflow. The drive draws power from the SATA connector without needing an auxiliary cable.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise does the 7200RPM HUA722010CLA330 produce when running continuously?

The 7200RPM spindle and 3.5in form factor generate typical enterprise-level heat and acoustic output for sustained operation; ensure your chassis provides adequate airflow.

What existing parts are required to install this bare SATA 3Gb/s drive?

You need a free 3.5in drive bay, a SATA data cable, and a SATA power connector from your power supply; no mounting screws or brackets are included.

Will the 3Gb/s SATA interface limit performance on an older motherboard with only 1.5Gb/s ports?

The drive is backward compatible with SATA 1.5Gb/s controllers, operating at the lower link speed without configuration changes.
