HP 500GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive

This HP internal hard drive delivers 500GB of storage on a 3.5-inch form factor. It spins at 7200RPM and connects through a SATA 3Gb/s interface with a 16MB cache. The unit ships new and includes a mounting caddy for direct installation.

Desktop builders needing 3.5-inch SATA storage

The drive suits desktop chassis with a standard 3.5-inch bay and a SATA 3Gb/s port. It is not suited for laptops or small-form-factor systems that require 2.5-inch drives. Builders who need a 6Gb/s SATA interface or larger cache buffers should consider other options.

SATA 3Gb/s interface

The interface operates at 3Gb/s, which sets the maximum data-transfer ceiling for this drive. Verify that your motherboard or controller supports SATA 3Gb/s before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 3.5" SATA drive with the included caddy in a desktop bay?

Slide the drive into the caddy, secure it with the side screws, insert the assembly into a 3.5" bay, then connect the SATA data and power cables.

What maintenance or replacement will the 7200RPM 500GB drive need later?

No scheduled maintenance is required; replace the drive if SMART errors appear or if the 16MB cache can no longer meet workload demands.

What limit appears first on the 3Gb/s SATA interface during sustained transfers?

The 3Gb/s SATA link caps sequential throughput, so sustained reads and writes will hit the interface ceiling before the 7200RPM platters do.
