500 GB 7200 RPM SATA drive

This 2.5 inch HP hard drive delivers 500 GB of storage at 7200 RPM with a 32 MB buffer. It suits laptop owners or small-form-factor desktop builders who need a straightforward mechanical drive for everyday workloads.

Check 2.5 inch bay and SATA cable

Verify that your chassis has a free 2.5 inch mounting location and a spare SATA data port on the motherboard or controller. Confirm the system can supply power through a standard SATA power connector before ordering.

32 MB cache and 6 Gb/s interface

The 32 MB cache helps smooth burst transfers while the 6 Gb/s SATA link matches modern controller speeds. The drive weighs 1.0 pound and uses the common 2.5 inch form factor, so it fits standard laptop caddies and desktop brackets without adapters.

Questions about this item

Does the 500 GB 7200 RPM drive ship with mounting screws or a SATA cable, or must I supply them?

The drive is sold as a bare unit; mounting hardware and a SATA data cable are not included and must be sourced separately.

How do I decide between the 500 GB 7200 RPM version and a lower-capacity model with the same speed?

Choose the 500 GB model when you need maximum storage in a single 2.5" bay; select a smaller capacity only if budget or space constraints outweigh the extra gigabytes.

What does the 7200 RPM rating mean for everyday boot and application load times in a laptop?

The 7200 RPM spindle delivers faster sequential throughput and lower access latency than slower drives, so the operating system and large applications load noticeably quicker.
