500 GB 7200 RPM SATA desktop drive

The Seagate BarraCuda ST500DM009 is a 3.5 inch internal hard drive with a 500 GB capacity and a 7200 RPM spindle speed. It uses a SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface and includes a 32 MB buffer. The bare drive is designed for desktop PCs and servers that need traditional magnetic storage.

Verify SATA power and data connections

Check that your motherboard has a free SATA 6.0 Gb/s port and that your power supply provides a SATA power connector. The drive measures 3.5 inches wide, 5.8 inches deep and 0.8 inches high, so confirm the drive bay can accept those dimensions. No additional cables or brackets are included with the bare drive.

Fits standard 3.5 inch bays and SATA controllers

The drive slides into any standard 3.5 inch internal bay and connects directly to a SATA controller on the motherboard or an add-in card. Its 7200 RPM speed supports quick boot and application loads, while the 32 MB cache smooths burst transfers. The SATA interface frees up PCIe slots for other expansion cards.

Questions about this item

Does the bare drive come with a SATA cable and mounting screws, or do I need to buy them separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare unit only. A SATA data cable, SATA power cable and 3.5-inch mounting screws must be sourced separately.

Is the 500 GB / 7200 RPM / 32 MB cache version the only capacity offered for this model?

This MPN identifies a single 500 GB configuration with 7200 RPM spindle speed and 32 MB buffer. Other capacities carry different model numbers.

Will the SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface deliver 600 MB/s throughput in my desktop?

The 6.0 Gb/s (SATA/600) link caps burst transfer at 600 MB/s; sustained rates are lower and depend on the 7200 RPM platters and 32 MB cache.
