500 GB 7200 RPM SATA laptop drive
The DELL ST9500423AS is a 500 GB internal hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM with a 16 MB cache. It uses a SATA 3 Gb/s interface in a 2.5 inch form factor and weighs 1.0 pound. The drive is supplied new and intended for laptop installations.

Questions about this item
Does the ST9500423AS ship with a mounting bracket or SATA cable, or must those be sourced separately?
The drive is supplied as a bare 2.5 in unit; mounting hardware and data cables are not included and must be obtained separately.
The part number lists 500 GB and 16 MB cache — are there other capacity or cache variants under the same MPN?
MPN ST9500423AS identifies this single 500 GB, 16 MB cache model; other capacities carry different part numbers.
With a 7200 RPM spindle and SATA 3 Gb/s interface, what sustained transfer rate can I expect inside a laptop?
The 7200 RPM rotation and 16 MB buffer support typical mechanical-drive sequential speeds within the SATA 3 Gb/s link limit.
