Enterprise 500 GB SATA drive

This HGST Ultrastar A7K2000 is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive built for enterprise workloads. It delivers 500 GB capacity at 7200 RPM with a 32 MB cache and a SATA 3.0 Gb/s interface. The drive includes Rotational Vibration Safeguard technology for reliability in multi-drive arrays.

Suits RAID and bulk storage; not for boot speed

It fits servers and storage appliances that need vibration-tolerant drives for RAID arrays, cloud storage, data warehousing or disk-to-disk backup. Builders who want a low-latency boot drive or a silent desktop drive should look at solid-state alternatives.

Deciding spec: 7200 RPM with 32 MB cache

The 7200 RPM spindle speed combined with 32 MB cache determines whether this drive meets the sustained throughput and vibration tolerance required for the target enterprise workloads.

Questions about this item

Will this 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s drive work in a desktop that currently uses an older 3.0Gb/s SATA controller?

Yes, the Ultrastar A7K2000 uses the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface and fits a standard 3.5" bay, so it will operate on an older 3.0Gb/s controller without any adapter.

How can I verify the drive is running at its rated 7200 RPM and 8.2ms seek time after installation?

Use a SMART monitoring tool such as CrystalDiskInfo or the manufacturer's Drive Fitness Test; both will report the spindle speed as 7200 RPM and show seek performance consistent with the 8.2ms specification.

Does the HUA722050CLA330-NDW- ship with mounting screws or a SATA data cable, or must I buy those separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare OEM unit; mounting screws and a SATA data cable are not included and must be purchased separately.
