Constellation 500 GB 3.5" SATA HDD
This 3.5-inch hard drive delivers 500 GB of storage on a SATA interface. It spins at 7200 RPM with a 64 MB cache for responsive data access. The Constellation line is built for server environments that demand continuous operation. It suits administrators adding reliable bulk capacity to compatible Dell systems.
Verify 3.5-inch bay and SATA connections
Confirm your chassis has an available 3.5-inch drive bay before ordering. Check that the motherboard or RAID controller provides a free SATA port and that the power supply includes a spare SATA power connector. Ensure the operating system or hypervisor recognises standard SATA hard drives without proprietary firmware locks.
Fits standard server drive cages
The drive mounts in any standard 3.5-inch hot-swap or fixed cage using regular SATA data and power cables. No special brackets or adapters are required beyond what the server chassis supplies. It frees smaller form-factor bays for SSDs while providing cost-effective rotational storage for archives, logs or backup targets.

Questions about this item
Does the ST500NM0011 come with a mounting bracket or SATA cable, or must I buy them separately?
The drive is supplied as a bare 3.5-inch SATA hard drive; mounting hardware and data cables are not included and must be sourced separately.
Should I choose the 500 GB 7200 RPM version or a larger capacity model for a server that needs fast random access?
The 500 GB model with 7200 RPM and 64 MB cache suits workloads prioritising quick response over raw capacity; select a higher-capacity drive only if total storage space is the primary concern.
What sustained transfer rate can I expect from the 7200 RPM SATA drive once installed in a server?
The 7200 RPM spindle and 64 MB cache deliver typical mechanical-drive sequential speeds; actual throughput depends on the server's SATA controller and workload pattern.
