250 GB desktop hard drive

This 3.5-inch SATA drive provides 250 GB of mechanical storage for desktop PCs. It is suited to users who need a basic drive for operating system installation, documents and light media libraries.

Capacity and headroom

The 250 GB capacity handles a Windows or Linux install plus everyday files with room to spare. It runs out quickly when storing large video collections, modern game libraries or system images.

SATA 3 Gb/s interface limits

The drive connects over a SATA 3 Gb/s link, capping sustained throughput at the interface ceiling. Mechanical latency and the 7.2K RPM spindle keep random access slower than solid-state alternatives.

Questions about this item

Will the WD2500AAKX work in an older desktop that only has SATA 1.5 Gb/s ports?

Yes, the SATA interface on this drive is backward compatible with 1.5 Gb/s and 3 Gb/s ports, so it will function normally in an older system.

How can I confirm the WD2500AAKX is healthy after installing it?

Run the manufacturer's Data Lifeguard Diagnostic tool; a passing quick test and SMART status showing no reallocated sectors confirm the 250 GB drive is working as intended.

Does the WD2500AAKX retail box include mounting screws or a SATA data cable?

The package includes only the 3.5 inch hard drive itself; mounting screws and a SATA data cable must be purchased separately if your chassis does not supply them.
