Seagate 250GB 3.5" SATA Hard Drive

This new Seagate ST3250412CS is a 3.5-inch desktop internal hard drive with a 250GB capacity. It spins at 5900 RPM and includes a 16MB cache on a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface. The bare drive is intended for daily computing tasks.

Home and Office Storage Upgrade

The drive suits users adding bulk storage to a desktop PC for documents, media or backups where high access speed is not critical. Buyers who need faster application loading, higher sustained throughput or a drive rated for continuous recording workloads should look elsewhere.

SATA 3.0Gb/s Interface Decides Fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface. Your motherboard or controller must provide a matching SATA port and the operating system must support the 250GB capacity.
