Capacity and use case

The Seagate Barracuda Pro ST500LM034 is a 500GB 2.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 7200rpm with a 128MB cache. It suits desktop builders who want a mechanical drive for bulk storage of games, media or documents in a compact form factor.

Compatibility check

Verify that your system has a free 2.5-inch drive bay and a spare SATA data plus power connection. The drive uses the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and is hot-pluggable, so the host controller must support that standard for full burst performance.

Thermals noise and power

The slim 0.3-inch height and light 3.17 oz weight allow it to fit in tight chassis spaces with minimal airflow obstruction. Mechanical operation at 7200rpm produces typical hard-drive acoustics and heat; ensure the mounting location receives some case airflow for reliable long-term use.

Questions about this item

Does the 2.5" SATA drive ship with mounting screws, a SATA cable, or any adapter brackets?

The drive is supplied as a bare 2.5" unit; mounting screws, SATA data cable and any 3.5" adapter bracket must be sourced separately.

Which capacity should I choose if I need the 128 MB cache and 7200 rpm spindle speed?

The 500 GB Barracuda Pro model ST500LM034 already includes the 128 MB cache and 7200 rpm specification.

What does the 6.0 Gb/s SATA interface deliver in an actual system?

The SATA 6.0 Gb/s link supports up to 600 MB/s burst transfer; sustained rates depend on the 7200 rpm platters and 128 MB cache.
