Deskstar P7K500 500 GB 7200 RPM drive
The HGST Deskstar P7K500 is a 3.5 inch desktop internal hard drive with a 500 GB capacity. It spins at 7200 RPM and provides a 16 MB cache over a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface. The unit is supplied as a bare drive in new condition.
Suits storage upgrades and replacements
This drive suits users adding a secondary data volume or replacing a failed mechanical drive in a desktop that accepts 3.5 inch SATA devices. It is not for buyers who need solid-state speeds, larger capacities, or a 2.5 inch form factor for laptop bays.
Check SATA port and 3.5 inch bay space
Verify that your motherboard or controller has a free SATA 3.0Gb/s port and that the chassis has an available 3.5 inch mounting location with screw holes. Confirm the power supply includes a spare SATA power connector for the drive.

Questions about this item
Does my desktop have a free SATA 3.0Gb/s port and a 3.5 inch drive bay for this drive?
Yes, the drive connects via a standard SATA 3.0Gb/s cable and fits any 3.5 inch internal bay. Ensure your power supply has a SATA power connector.
Will this 7200 RPM SATA drive work alongside my older SATA 1.5Gb/s mechanical drive?
The drive is backward compatible with SATA 1.5Gb/s controllers. It will run at the slower link speed but function normally beside the older drive.
How can I verify the 500GB capacity and 16MB cache are recognised after installation?
Check the drive properties in your operating system or BIOS. They should report 500GB capacity and the drive model HDP725050GLA360.
