320 GB 7200 RPM desktop hard drive
This 3.5-inch SATA drive delivers 320 GB of storage with a 7200 RPM spindle and 16 MB cache for everyday desktop workloads. It suits builders restoring older systems or adding a secondary volume where modest capacity is sufficient. The bare-drive package includes the mechanism only, ready for installation in a standard drive bay.
Ideal for legacy upgrades and basic storage
Users repairing or expanding SATA-based PCs from the 3 Gb/s era will find the interface and form factor a direct match. Buyers who need more capacity, lower access times or a 6 Gb/s interface should consider other options. The drive has been erased to a DoD 5220.22 M standard and tested functional, though up to 25 bad sectors may be present.
8.9 ms average seek time
The quoted 8.9 ms average seek time, combined with 4.2 ms latency and 10.9 ms average write time, defines the responsiveness you can expect from this mechanical drive. Those figures determine whether the performance envelope meets the needs of the intended application.
