  • 250 GB capacity stores large media libraries
  • 7200 RPM spindle speed accelerates file access
  • 16 MB cache buffers frequent read requests
  • SATA 3 Gb/s interface fits standard desktop bays
  • Perpendicular magnetic recording boosts areal density

250 GB desktop hard drive

This 3.5 inch SATA drive provides 250 GB of storage for desktop computers and legacy systems. It spins at 7200 RPM and includes a 16 MB cache buffer. The drive is supplied new as a bare unit without cables or mounting hardware.

Sustained workload behaviour

Under continuous use the 7200 RPM spindle and 16 MB cache maintain steady throughput for sequential reads and writes. Features such as Native Command Queuing and Perpendicular Magnetic Recording help optimise data layout during extended operations. Clean Sweep and Adaptive Fly Height work to preserve consistent performance over time.

SATA 3 Gb/s interface constraint

The drive connects through a SATA 3 Gb/s interface, which determines the maximum transfer rate the host can achieve. Systems limited to SATA 1.5 Gb/s will operate at the lower speed. Builders requiring a faster interface or larger capacity must select a different drive.

  • 7200 RPM spindle speed accelerates file access
  • 16 MB cache buffers frequent read requests
  • SATA 3 Gb/s interface fits standard desktop bays

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise does the ST3250620AS generate when running continuously?

The 7200RPM spindle and 16MB buffer are designed for desktop workloads; Seagate SoftSonic Motor Technology reduces acoustic output during sustained operation.

What cables or brackets do I need to install this bare drive?

You must supply a SATA 3Gb/s data cable, a SATA power connector from your PSU, and a 3.5-inch drive bay or mounting bracket in the chassis.

Will this SATA 3Gb/s drive work on an older motherboard that only supports SATA 1.5Gb/s?

Yes, the SATA interface is backward compatible, so the drive will operate at the slower 1.5Gb/s link speed on legacy controllers.
