Capacity and interface

This 320GB desktop hard drive uses a SATA 3.0Gb/s connection and spins at 7200 RPM with a 16MB cache. It is built for standard 3.5-inch drive bays in desktop PCs and servers that accept SATA drives.

SATA 3.0Gb/s practical limits

The SATA 3.0Gb/s interface caps theoretical throughput at 3.0 gigabits per second. Real-world transfer rates will be lower and depend on the host controller, cable quality and system load. Average latency is 4.16ms.

Compatibility checklist

Verify your motherboard or controller has a free SATA port and that your power supply provides a SATA power connector. Ensure the chassis has a 3.5-inch mounting bay with adequate clearance. This bare drive ships without cables, brackets or formatting.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 320 GB version or a larger BarraCuda 7200.12 drive?

This listing is for the 320 GB model only. If you need more space, choose a higher-capacity BarraCuda 7200.12 drive instead.

What does the 7200 RPM speed actually deliver in a desktop PC?

The 7200 RPM spindle gives an average latency of 4.16 ms, so the drive responds quickly for everyday desktop workloads.

The drive uses SATA 3.0 Gb/s — what does that limit in practice?

The SATA 3.0 Gb/s interface caps the maximum transfer rate at 3.0 Gb/s, which is the ceiling for sequential reads and writes on this drive.
