Deskstar P7K500 160GB IDE Drive

The HGST Deskstar P7K500 is a 3.5-inch desktop internal hard drive with a 160GB capacity. It spins at 7200 RPM and provides an 8MB cache buffer. The drive connects via an IDE Ultra ATA133 interface and is supplied as a bare drive.

Suits legacy IDE systems only

This drive fits older desktops or servers that require a 3.5-inch IDE Ultra ATA133 hard disk. It is not for systems that lack a parallel ATA connector or that require larger storage capacities. Buyers needing a modern interface or higher capacity should look at something else.

Deciding spec: IDE Ultra ATA133 interface

The single specification that decides fitment is the IDE Ultra ATA133 interface. Your motherboard or controller must support this parallel ATA standard for the drive to work. Without a compatible IDE connector, this drive cannot be installed.
