Capacity and interface
The Seagate BarraCuda 7200.10 ST3500630AS is a 3.5 inch desktop internal hard drive with a 500GB capacity and a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface. It suits builders adding bulk storage to a standard PC or replacing an older mechanical drive in a compatible system. The bare drive packaging means it arrives without cables or mounting hardware.
500GB at 7200 RPM
The drive spins at 7200 RPM with a 16MB cache and an average latency of 4.16ms, delivering responsive access for operating systems, applications and media libraries. Perpendicular recording technology increases data density to achieve the 500GB capacity within the standard form factor. Heavy multi-tasking or large modern game installs will exceed the available space and throughput headroom.
Build and daily use
SoftSonic motor technology keeps acoustic output low during typical desktop workloads. Enhanced G-Force Protection helps shield the mechanism from damage caused by shocks or sudden movement during installation or transport. The SATA interface supports Native Command Queuing and hot-pluggable point-to-point connections for straightforward integration into compatible motherboards or controllers.

Questions about this item
Will the ST3500630AS work on a motherboard that only has SATA 1.5Gb/s ports?
Yes, the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface is backward compatible with 1.5Gb/s ports and will operate at the slower link speed.
How can I confirm the ST3500630AS is running at 7200 RPM after installation?
Use a SMART monitoring tool such as CrystalDiskInfo; it will report the spindle speed as 7200 RPM and show the drive model ST3500630AS.
Does the bare drive ST3500630AS include mounting screws or a SATA data cable?
No, the bare-drive package contains only the 3.5" drive itself; mounting screws and a SATA data cable must be purchased separately.
