250 GB 7200 RPM SATA hard drive

This 3.5 inch desktop drive stores 250 GB of data on a 7200 RPM spindle with a 16 MB cache. It connects through a 3 Gb/s SATA interface and ships as a bare drive without cables or brackets. The unit weighs 2.0 pounds and is offered in new condition.

Capacity and rotational headroom

The 250 GB capacity suits operating-system installs, light applications and modest document libraries. The 7200 RPM speed and 16 MB buffer keep everyday read and write tasks responsive. Large media collections, modern game libraries or heavy virtual-machine images will exceed the available space.

3.5 inch SATA integration

The drive fits any standard 3.5 inch bay and requires a SATA data cable plus a SATA power connector from the power supply. No special mounting hardware or controller cards are needed beyond the motherboard SATA ports. The bare-drive packaging leaves cable selection and bracket choice to the builder.

Questions about this item

Will the WD2502ABYS work on a motherboard that only has SATA 1.5 Gb/s ports?

Yes, the SATA 3 Gb/s interface is backward compatible with older SATA ports, so the drive will operate at the slower 1.5 Gb/s speed.

How can I confirm the WD2502ABYS is running at 7200 RPM after installation?

Use a tool such as CrystalDiskInfo or the drive's SMART data to verify the rotational speed is reported as 7200 RPM.

The listing says bare drive only; what exactly is included and what must I provide?

Only the WD2502ABYS drive itself is included; you must supply a SATA data cable, a SATA power cable from your power supply and mounting screws for your case.
