Desktop internal hard drive

The HGST HDT725025VLA380 is a 250GB 3.5 inch desktop internal hard drive built for everyday storage in workstations and home PCs. It ships as a bare drive without cables or mounting hardware.

SATA 3.0Gb/s interface

The single specification that decides fit is the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface; the motherboard must provide a matching SATA port and the operating system must support the drive capacity.

7200 RPM mechanical drive

It requires a standard 3.5 inch drive bay and both a SATA data cable and a SATA power connector from the power supply. The 7200 RPM spindle and 8MB cache free up throughput for operating system and application loads compared with slower spindle drives.

Questions about this item

How does the 7200 RPM speed affect real-world performance in a desktop?

The 7200 RPM spindle delivers faster data access than slower drives, reducing load times for applications and files in everyday desktop use.

What does the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface mean for transfer speeds?

The SATA 3.0Gb/s interface sets the maximum bus bandwidth, so sustained read and write rates cannot exceed the link's capability.

Will this 3.5-inch bare drive fit in a standard desktop bay?

The 3.5-inch form factor matches standard internal drive bays, and the bare drive mounts with four side screws in any compatible chassis.
