Seagate Momentus 500GB 2.5" SATA drive

The Seagate Momentus ST9500424AS is a 500GB internal hard drive with a 2.5 inch form factor. It spins at 7200RPM and connects through a SATA 3Gb/s interface with a 16MB cache buffer. The drive is supplied in new condition.

Suits laptops and small PCs needing SATA storage

This drive fits 2.5 inch bays in laptops or compact desktops that require a SATA hard disk. Buyers needing a faster solid-state drive or a larger capacity mechanical drive should consider other options. Systems without a SATA 3Gb/s connection cannot use this drive.

7200RPM rotational speed decides performance

The 7200RPM spindle speed determines the drive's data throughput and access latency for the SATA 3Gb/s interface. This single specification indicates whether the drive meets the performance requirements for the intended workload.

Questions about this item

What practical speed ceiling does the SATA 3 Gb/s interface impose on the ST9500424AS?

The SATA 3 Gb/s interface limits the maximum data transfer rate of the ST9500424AS to the bandwidth of that standard, so sustained reads and writes cannot exceed the interface capability.

What physical space and mounting points does the 2.5 inch ST9500424AS require?

The drive fits a standard 2.5 inch drive bay and uses the regular SATA data and power connectors found on laptop and small-form-factor chassis.

Which installation step is often missed when fitting the ST9500424AS into a laptop?

After sliding the drive into the bay, the retaining screws or caddy must be fastened before connecting the SATA cables, otherwise the drive can shift and disconnect.
