HP 500 GB desktop hard drive

The HP QK554AT is a 3.5 inch internal hard drive built for desktop computers. It delivers 500 GB of storage on a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and spins at 7200 RPM. The drive ships as a bare unit without cables or brackets.

SATA 6.0Gb/s interface decides compatibility

This drive connects through a standard SATA 6.0Gb/s port on the motherboard. The 3.5 inch form factor requires a matching drive bay and both a SATA data cable and a SATA power connector from the power supply. No other interface or connector type is supported.

Suits desktop upgrades needing 500 GB on SATA

It fits builders adding bulk storage to a desktop with a free 3.5 inch bay and a SATA port. Buyers who want faster boot times or application loading should look at solid state options. Systems without a 3.5 inch bay or a spare SATA connection cannot use this drive.
