Product identity

This refurbished Seagate BarraCuda ES.2 ST3250310NS is a 250GB 3.5-inch desktop internal hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM with 32MB cache and a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface. It suits users replacing a failed drive in an older workstation or adding modest bulk storage to a legacy system.

Compatibility check

Verify your motherboard or controller provides a free SATA 3.0Gb/s port and that the chassis has an open 3.5-inch bay with mounting screws. Confirm the power supply includes a spare SATA power connector before ordering.

What the bundle changes

The bare-drive packaging means no cables, brackets, mounting screws or installation software are included; you must supply SATA data and power cables plus any required rails or adapters yourself.

Questions about this item

Does the bare-drive packaging include cables or mounting brackets, or must they be bought separately?

The drive ships as a bare unit without SATA data cables, power cables or mounting screws. Those items must be sourced separately.

How do the 250 GB capacity and 32 MB cache compare with other BarraCuda ES.2 models for a desktop build?

This model provides 250 GB of storage and a 32 MB cache. Other capacities in the same series will show different GB and cache figures on their spec sheets.

What does the 7200 RPM spindle speed mean for real-world load times on a SATA 3.0 Gb/s motherboard?

At 7200 RPM the drive delivers an average seek time of 8.5 ms and average latency of 4.16 ms, which determines how quickly files open on a SATA 3.0 Gb/s link.
