500 GB 7200 RPM SATA Desktop Drive
The Seagate BarraCuda 7200.12 ST3500413AS is a 3.5 inch internal hard drive built for desktop systems. It spins at 7200 RPM with a 16 MB cache and connects through a SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface. The drive is supplied as a bare unit and has been erased to DoD 5220.22 M compliance.
Suits general desktop storage.
This drive fits everyday desktop workloads, operating system installs and basic file storage where 500 GB is sufficient. Buyers who need more capacity for large media libraries, backups or server arrays should consider larger drives. The bare-drive packaging also means no cables or mounting hardware are included.
500 GB capacity with 16 MB cache headroom
The 500 GB capacity comfortably handles an operating system, applications and moderate personal files. The 16 MB cache optimises burst performance for typical desktop tasks. With only 500 GB of space, the drive runs out quickly when storing large video collections, extensive game libraries or multiple system images.

Questions about this item
Will my desktop motherboard need a SATA 6.0Gb/s port and a 3.5" drive bay to install this BarraCuda 7200.12?
Yes — the ST3500413AS uses a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and the standard 3.5" form factor, so a matching SATA port and a 3.5" bay (or adapter) are required.
Can I keep my older SATA 3Gb/s controller and still use this 500GB drive?
The drive is backward compatible with SATA 3Gb/s controllers; it will operate at the slower 3Gb/s bus speed while retaining its 7200 RPM spindle and 16MB cache.
How can I verify the drive is healthy after installation given the DoD 5220.22 M erase?
Run the manufacturer’s diagnostic tool or a SMART utility; a clean bill of health with zero reallocated sectors confirms the erase and test process completed correctly.
