500GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive

This HP internal hard drive delivers 500GB of storage on a 3.5-inch form factor spinning at 7200RPM. It connects through a SATA 3Gb/s interface and ships with a Smart Carrier caddy for hot-plug installation in compatible drive bays. The unit is new and weighs 2.0 pounds.

Desktop storage upgrades and server replacements

The drive suits administrators refreshing older HP ProLiant or workstation arrays that accept 3Gb/s SATA hot-plug trays. It also fits builders adding bulk capacity to a desktop with a free 3.5-inch bay and a standard SATA port. Buyers who need faster throughput, larger capacities or a 2.5-inch form factor should consider other options.

SATA 3Gb/s interface speed

The single specification that decides compatibility is the 3Gb/s SATA interface. The drive will operate on 6Gb/s controllers but only at the lower 3Gb/s rate. Verify that the target system supports 3.5-inch hot-plug SATA trays before purchase.

Questions about this item

How much power does this 7200RPM SATA drive draw when running continuously?

The 3.5-inch 500GB drive spins at 7200RPM over a 3Gb/s SATA link; typical idle and active draw for this class is 5–9 watts, so a standard desktop supply handles it easily.

What must my desktop already have to install this HP MB0500EBNCR with its included caddy?

A free 3.5-inch drive bay, a SATA data cable, a SATA power connector from the PSU, and a motherboard SATA port that supports 3Gb/s operation.

Will this 3Gb/s SATA drive work alongside an older SATA controller in the same system?

Yes, the drive negotiates the highest speed both ends support, so it will run at the controller's native rate without configuration changes.
