Dell 500GB 3.5" SATA enterprise hard drive
This 3.5-inch SATA hard drive provides 500GB of storage at 7200 RPM with a 3.0Gb/s interface. It uses 512n sector formatting and is built for enterprise storage workloads. The drive is supplied new with updated firmware.
Suits servers needing 512n sectors.
Systems that require native 512-byte sectors will match this drive's 512n format. Builders needing larger capacities or 4Kn sector support should select a different model. The 3.0Gb/s SATA link also limits throughput for high-bandwidth applications.
512n sector format decides compatibility
The single specification that determines fit is the 512n sector format. Controllers and backplanes expecting 4Kn sectors will not work correctly with this drive. Verify that your platform requires native 512-byte sectors before purchasing.

Questions about this item
Will the 3.5" form factor fit my desktop drive bay?
The 3.5" form factor matches standard desktop drive bays and uses the common SATA 3.0Gb/s interface for power and data connections.
What is the correct SATA mode to select in BIOS during installation?
Set the SATA controller to AHCI mode in BIOS before installing the operating system; leaving it in IDE or RAID mode can prevent the drive from being detected properly.
How often should I run a surface scan on this 7200 RPM enterprise drive?
Schedule a full surface scan every three to six months using SMART monitoring tools to catch bad sectors early on a 7200 RPM enterprise-class drive.
