500 GB desktop SATA hard drive

The Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3500630AS is a 3.5 inch internal hard drive with a 500 GB capacity and a 7200 RPM spindle speed. It connects via a SATA 3.0 Gb/s interface and includes a 16 MB cache buffer. The drive is supplied as a bare unit without cables or mounting hardware.

Suits older desktop upgrades and secondary storage

This drive fits users replacing a failed drive in a legacy desktop or adding inexpensive bulk storage for documents and backups. It is not suited for builders who need the faster throughput of a 6 Gb/s SATA link or the low latency of solid-state storage.

SATA 3.0 Gb/s interface

The single specification that decides compatibility is the 3.0 Gb/s SATA interface. The host system must provide a matching SATA port; drives requiring a different interface will not work.

  • 500 GB capacity stores large media libraries and backups
  • 7200 RPM spindle speed reduces file access latency
  • 16 MB cache buffers bursts for smoother throughput
  • SATA 3.0 Gb/s interface enables fast sequential transfers

Questions about this item

What sustained throughput limit does the 3.0 Gb/s SATA interface impose on the ST3500630AS?

The SATA 3.0 Gb/s interface caps the maximum burst transfer rate at 3.0 Gb/s, so sustained throughput cannot exceed that link speed.

How much heat and noise does the 7200RPM mechanism produce during all-day operation?

The 7200RPM spindle and 3.5-inch form factor generate typical desktop drive heat and audible seek noise under continuous use.

Which host connector and power lead must already be present for this bare drive to work?

A SATA data port and a standard SATA power connector are required to install and run the drive.
