500 GB SATA hard drive for desktop storage

The Seagate Constellation ES provides 500 GB of capacity on a 3.5-inch form factor with a SATA 6 Gb/s interface. It spins at 7200 RPM and includes a 64 MB cache to support everyday desktop workloads. The drive is supplied new and suits general-purpose storage in compatible systems.

Capacity and headroom for typical desktop use

The 500 GB capacity handles operating systems, applications and moderate media libraries with room for future files.
