Travelstar 7K500 320 GB 2.5" SATA drive

This HGST Travelstar 7K500 is a 320 GB 2.5-inch internal hard drive built for laptops. It spins at 7200 RPM with a 16 MB cache and connects through a SATA interface rated at 300 MB/s. The drive is supplied new in retail or OEM packaging. ||

Best for single-drive laptop upgrades

The 7200 RPM spindle suits users who want faster boot and application loading than a slower mechanical drive can deliver. It fits any 2.5-inch SATA bay in a notebook or external enclosure. Buyers who need more capacity than 320 GB or who want the speed and silence of solid-state storage should consider a different drive type. ||

7200 RPM spindle speed

The 7200 RPM rotation rate is the specification that most directly affects how quickly the drive can read and write data. Combined with the 16 MB buffer and SATA 300 interface it determines whether the drive meets the performance target for a given laptop workload.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5" SATA/300 interface work with my older laptop that only supports SATA 1.5 Gbit/s?

Yes, the SATA/300 interface is backward compatible with SATA 1.5 Gbit/s controllers, so the drive will operate at the slower speed.

How can I verify the 7200 RPM spindle speed and 16 MB buffer are active after installation?

Check the drive model HTS725032A9A364 in BIOS or use a tool like CrystalDiskInfo to confirm 7200 RPM rotation and 16 MB cache reporting.

Does the retail box include mounting screws or a SATA cable, or must I buy them separately?

The drive is shipped in bulk packaging of 20 units; mounting screws and SATA cables are not included and must be sourced separately.
