Deskstar 7K250 80GB SATA drive

The HGST HDS722580VLSA80 is a 3.5 inch desktop internal hard drive with 80GB capacity. It spins at 7200 RPM and includes an 8MB cache. The unit is supplied as a bare drive in new condition.

SATA 1.5Gb/s interface limits

The drive connects via a SATA 1.5Gb/s interface, which caps maximum transfer rates at 1.5 gigabits per second. Average seek time is 8.8ms and average latency is 4.17ms. This older standard restricts throughput compared to later SATA revisions.

80GB capacity decides fit

With 80GB of storage, this drive suits legacy systems, embedded appliances or light archival tasks. It is not for users who need more capacity for modern operating systems, media libraries or large databases.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 80 GB Deskstar 7K250 or a larger capacity from the same series?

The 80 GB model matches the 7200 RPM speed and 8 MB cache of the series, so choose it when space needs are modest and low power draw is a priority.

What does the 7200 RPM rating deliver in daily use?

At 7200 RPM with an 8.8 ms average seek time and 4.17 ms latency, the drive serves operating-system and application files noticeably quicker than slower-spinning alternatives.

How does the SATA 1.5 Gb/s interface limit real-world throughput?

The SATA 1.5 Gb/s link caps sustained transfers well below the drive’s own media speed, so sequential reads and writes peak around the interface ceiling rather than the platter maximum.
