Product identity

The Seagate ST9500530NS is a 500GB 2.5" SATA hard drive spinning at 7200RPM with a 32MB cache. It is built for desktop systems that accept a 2.5-inch form factor and a 3Gb/s SATA connection.

Best fit and limits

Suits builders who need a compact mechanical drive for secondary storage or legacy upgrades. Not for buyers who want more capacity, faster 6Gb/s throughput or solid-state performance.

Install notes

Fits any standard 2.5" SATA bay using four mounting screws and a single data cable. The main issue is confirming the host controller supports 3Gb/s SATA rather than expecting 6Gb/s speeds.

Questions about this item

Will this 2.5" SATA 3Gb/s drive fit in my laptop's 2.5-inch drive bay?

Yes, the drive uses the standard 2.5-inch form factor with a SATA interface, so it fits any laptop or enclosure that accepts a 2.5-inch SATA hard drive.

Can I run this 3Gb/s SATA drive on a motherboard that only has 1.5Gb/s SATA ports?

The drive is backward compatible with SATA 1.5Gb/s controllers and will operate at the slower link speed without any configuration changes.

How can I confirm the drive is running at 7200 RPM and showing the full 500GB capacity after installation?

Check the drive properties in your operating system or BIOS; it should report 500GB capacity and SMART data will confirm 7200 RPM rotational speed.
