Deskstar T7K500 400GB SATA drive
This 3.5-inch hard drive delivers 400GB of storage at 7200 RPM with a 16MB cache. It suits desktop builders who need a basic mechanical volume for bulk files or legacy operating systems. The SATA 3.0Gb/s interface keeps compatibility simple. It arrives as a bare drive without cables or brackets.
Check SATA port and bay space
Verify that your motherboard has a free SATA 3.0Gb/s port and that your case offers an open 3.5-inch drive bay. The unit requires standard SATA data and power connectors. No special drivers are needed for the Native Command Queuing feature. Ensure your BIOS recognises drives of this capacity before installation.
Fits standard desktop builds
The drive slides into any 3.5-inch bay and connects with two cables, leaving PCIe slots free for other cards. Its 7200 RPM spindle speed and 8.5ms seek time provide responsive access for everyday workloads. Thermal Monitoring and Fly Height Control help maintain reliability during long sessions. SMART Command Transport supports drive health reporting.

Questions about this item
Does the bare-drive package include cables or mounting screws, or must they be purchased separately?
The drive is supplied as a bare 3.5-inch unit only; SATA data and power cables plus mounting screws are not included and must be sourced separately.
How does the 400 GB capacity with 16 MB cache compare to the larger 500 GB Deskstar T7K500 models?
The 400 GB model shares the same 7200 RPM spindle speed and SATA 3.0Gb/s interface, but offers less storage and the same 16 MB cache as the 500 GB variants.
What real-world benefit does the 8.5 ms average seek time give when the drive is installed in a desktop PC?
An 8.5 ms seek time means the read/write heads position quickly, reducing latency during file access and boot sequences on a typical desktop workload.
