Capacity and interface
The Seagate ST3200826AS is a 200 GB 3.5-inch internal hard drive with a SATA 1.5Gb/s interface. It spins at 7200 RPM and includes an 8 MB cache for desktop storage tasks.
Suitability
This drive fits older desktops that require a SATA 1.5Gb/s connection and a 3.5-inch bay. Builders needing higher capacities, faster interfaces or solid-state performance should consider other options.
Deciding specification
The SATA 1.5Gb/s interface determines whether this drive matches the host controller; systems limited to this speed will recognise the full 200 GB capacity without adapter hardware.

Questions about this item
How does the 7200 RPM spindle affect real-world responsiveness?
The 7200 RPM spindle delivers an 11ms average seek time, so the operating system and applications load quickly during everyday use.
What does the SATA 1.5Gb/s interface mean for transfer speeds?
The SATA 1.5Gb/s interface caps the maximum burst transfer rate at 1.5Gb/s, which limits sustained throughput to the drive's own media speed.
Will this 3.5-inch bare drive fit a standard desktop bay?
Yes, the 3.5-inch form factor matches standard desktop drive bays and uses regular SATA data and power connectors for installation.
