250 GB Deskstar P7K500 for desktop storage

This 250 GB Hitachi Deskstar P7K500 drive spins at 7200 RPM with 8 MB cache for everyday desktop workloads. It is sold as a refurbished bare drive without cables or mounting hardware. The SATA 3.0 Gb/s interface suits older and current motherboards alike. Buyers who want more capacity or faster solid-state speeds should look elsewhere.

SATA 3.0 Gb/s bare drive integration

The drive connects through a standard SATA data cable and a SATA power connector from the power supply. No special drivers are required for Windows Vista or newer operating systems. Its 3.5 inch form factor fits regular desktop drive bays and leaves 2.5 inch bays free for other devices. The bare-drive packaging means you supply your own screws and cables.

Sustained 7200 RPM operation

At continuous 7200 RPM the drive maintains steady throughput for long file copies and background tasks. The 8 MB cache smooths burst requests but does not eliminate mechanical latency during heavy random access. Surface temperature rises with prolonged use, so adequate case airflow is advisable. The 90 day limited warranty covers the refurbished unit under normal desktop loads.

Questions about this item

What is the rotational speed of the HDP725025GLA380 and how does it affect sustained throughput?

The drive spins at 7200 RPM with an 8 MB cache and a SATA 3.0 Gb/s interface, so sustained transfers are limited by that bus ceiling and the mechanical platters.

What noise, heat or power levels should I expect from the 0A35399 during all-day operation?

The Deskstar P7K500 is a 3.5 inch 7200 RPM mechanical drive; it will produce audible seek noise, warm to typical operating temperatures and draw standard SATA power under continuous load.

Which host connector and power supply cables must I already have to install this bare drive?

You need a free SATA data port on the motherboard or controller plus a SATA power lead from the PSU; the drive ships without cables, brackets or adapter.
