Desktop storage for everyday computing

The Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST3500413AS is a 500 GB 3.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM with a 16 MB cache. It connects through a SATA 6 Gb/s interface and suits standard desktop builds that need reliable bulk storage for documents, media and backups.

Verify SATA power and motherboard port

Before ordering confirm that your power supply provides a SATA power connector and that the motherboard has a free SATA data port. The drive fits a standard 3.5-inch bay and requires no special mounting hardware beyond ordinary drive screws.

Steady throughput under sustained writes

Under continuous load the 7200 RPM spindle and 16 MB buffer deliver consistent sequential transfer rates without the sharp drops seen in slower spindle drives. The SATA 6 Gb/s link keeps the interface from becoming the bottleneck during long copy or backup sessions.

Questions about this item

Does the ST3500413AS come with mounting screws or a SATA cable, or must I buy them separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare 3.5 inch unit; mounting screws and a SATA data cable are not included and must be purchased separately.

The listing shows 6 Gb/s SATA and 7200 RPM — is this the only version of the 500 GB Barracuda 7200.12?

Yes, the ST3500413AS is the single 500 GB model in the 7200.12 family with a 16 MB cache and 6 Gb/s SATA interface.

Will I see the full 6 Gb/s transfer rate on a motherboard that only has 3 Gb/s SATA ports?

The drive will operate at the 3 Gb/s link speed on older ports; sustained throughput is limited by the 7200 RPM platters and 16 MB cache, not the interface ceiling.
