Capacity and interface
The Seagate BarraCuda 7200.10 ST3250410AS is a 250GB 3.5-inch desktop internal hard drive with a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface. It spins at 7200 RPM and includes 16MB of cache for everyday storage tasks. The bare-drive packaging suits system builders and upgraders adding secondary storage.
Performance headroom
Average seek time is 8.5ms with 4.16ms average latency and a 10ms average write time. Perpendicular recording technology supports the 250GB capacity while maintaining reliability. The drive handles operating system installs, applications and media libraries within its space and speed envelope. Builders needing more capacity or faster throughput will need a larger or solid-state alternative.
Included extras
No cables, mounting brackets or software utilities are bundled with the bare drive. The three-year limited warranty from the manufacturer covers the unit itself. Installers must supply their own SATA data and power cables as well as any required screws or drive trays.

Questions about this item
Will the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface on this ST3250410AS work with an older motherboard that only supports SATA 1.5Gb/s?
Yes, the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface is backward compatible with SATA 1.5Gb/s ports. The drive will operate at the slower 1.5Gb/s speed, but the 250GB capacity and 7200 RPM performance remain fully available.
How can I verify the 7200 RPM spindle speed and 16MB cache are active after installing this drive?
Check the drive model ST3250410AS in your BIOS or use a system information tool. The reported RPM should read 7200 and the cache size 16MB. SMART data will also confirm perpendicular recording technology is functioning.
What comes in the box with this bare drive and what must I supply myself?
The box contains only the 3.5" bare drive. You must provide a SATA data cable, a SATA power connector from your PSU, and four 6-32 mounting screws for your case drive bay.
