Desktop storage for daily computing

This 3.5-inch internal hard drive delivers 1TB of capacity at 7200 RPM with a 32MB cache. It connects via a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and uses Advanced Format 512e sector technology. The drive is designed for consumer and commercial desktop computers requiring reliable bulk storage.

Bare drive packaging means no extras

The unit ships as a bare drive without cables, mounting screws, brackets or software utilities. Installers must supply their own SATA data and power cables along with any required 3.5-inch drive bay hardware. No formatting, partitioning or allocation is performed by the supplier.

Standard 3.5-inch SATA installation

The drive fits standard 3.5-inch bays with maximum dimensions of 147.00mm length, 101.60mm width and 26.10mm height. Connection uses two keyed SATA connectors that only seat one way. Common issues include forgetting to initialise the disk in the operating system after physical installation.

Questions about this item

How often will the 32MB cache need maintenance or replacement?

The 32MB cache is built into the drive's controller board and requires no separate maintenance or replacement during the drive's operational life.

What limit appears first when the 7200 RPM drive runs sustained workloads?

The 4.17ms average latency and mechanical 7200 RPM rotation speed set the sustained throughput ceiling before thermal throttling engages.

How much noise, heat, and power does the 3.5" SATA drive produce running all day?

The halogen-free design targets power-efficient operation for cooler running, with the low-profile 26.10mm height aiding airflow in desktop cases.
