Western Digital

Western Digital WD2500HHTZ 250GB 10000 RPM SATA 64MB internal hard drive

SKU CH-90K6-SHEPN

A 250 GB desktop hard drive spinning at 10,000 RPM with 64 MB cache and a 2.5-inch mechanism mounted in a 3.5-inch frame with a built-in heat sink for cool operation in high-performance systems

  • 10,000 RPM speed for fast data access
  • 64 MB cache boosts burst throughput
  • 250 GB capacity stores operating system and apps
  • 5-inch mechanism in 3.5-inch frame fits standard desktop bays
  • built-in heat sink keeps drive cool under load

Designed for high-speed desktop storage

This 250GB internal hard drive spins at 10000 RPM and connects through a SATA 6Gb/s interface. A 2.5-inch mechanism sits inside a backplane-ready 3.5-inch mounting frame with an integrated heat sink. The 64MB buffer helps smooth burst transfers for demanding desktop workloads.

Sustained throughput from 10000 RPM spindle

The high rotational speed maintains consistent data rates during extended read and write sessions rather than tailing off after a short burst. The built-in heat sink dissipates the extra thermal load so the drive stays within safe operating limits inside performance chassis. AF media formatting supports the areal density needed for this capacity at speed.

250GB capacity decides fit

At 250GB the drive suits operating-system installs, scratch disks or targeted application storage where latency matters more than bulk space. Buyers who need multi-terabyte archives or large media libraries will find the capacity too small for a primary data volume.
