Seagate BarraCuda 7200.7 200GB SATA Drive

This new 200GB 3.5-inch internal hard drive uses a SATA 1.5Gb/s interface and spins at 7200 RPM with an 8MB cache. It belongs to the BarraCuda 7200.7 series and is built for desktop storage upgrades or replacements where a legacy SATA connection is required.

Installation Notes for Bare Drive

The drive arrives as a bare unit without cables, brackets or mounting screws, so you must supply a SATA data cable and a compatible power connector. Handle the exposed circuit board carefully to avoid static damage, and ensure the drive is secured in a 3.5-inch bay to prevent vibration.

Compatibility Check Before Ordering

Verify that your motherboard or controller provides a SATA 1.5Gb/s port, as this drive does not support newer SATA revisions at higher speeds. Confirm the operating system can recognise a 200GB volume and that the BIOS detects the drive correctly. This capacity will not suit users who need more storage space for modern applications or large media libraries.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the ST3200822AS is running at 7200 RPM after installation?

Check the drive model in BIOS or a tool like CrystalDiskInfo; the reported RPM should read 7200.

What comes with the bare-drive ST3200822AS and what must I supply?

Only the 3.5" drive is included; you need a SATA data cable, a SATA power connector and mounting screws.

Which capacity should I pick from the BarraCuda 7200.7 line?

This model is the 200GB variant; choose it when you need that exact capacity.
