250 GB SATA desktop drive

The Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3250620AS is a 3.5 inch internal hard drive with 250 GB capacity, 7200 RPM spindle speed and a 16 MB cache. It connects through a SATA 3 Gb/s interface and ships as a bare drive in new condition. Features include Perpendicular Magnetic Recording, Native Command Queuing and Enhanced G-Force Protection.

Suits older SATA builds, not high-capacity needs

This drive fits systems that use the 3.5 inch SATA form factor and need a modest 250 GB volume for an operating system or light storage. Builders who want more storage space or a faster interface such as SATA 6 Gb/s should look at something else. The bare-drive package also means no cables or mounting hardware are included.

3 Gb/s SATA interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the SATA 3 Gb/s interface; the host must provide a matching port. If the motherboard or controller only supports a different interface the drive will not work.

Questions about this item

What 3.5" bay and SATA connections does the ST3250620AS require to fit?

The drive fits a standard 3.5" desktop bay and connects with a SATA data cable and a SATA power cable from the power supply.

Which jumper or BIOS step is often missed when installing the ST3250620AS?

No jumper is needed for SATA; the common mistake is forgetting to enable the SATA port in BIOS so the 250GB drive appears at boot.

When should the 7200RPM mechanism with 16MB cache be replaced?

Replace the drive if SMART reports reallocated sectors, unusual noise appears, or read/write errors increase during regular use.
