500 GB 2.5″ SATA drive for laptops
This 500 GB HGST drive spins at 7 200 RPM and connects through a SATA 3 Gb/s interface. It is built for 2.5″ bays in laptops or small-form-factor desktops that need a mechanical drive with a 16 MB cache. The unit is supplied new.
Straightforward 2.5″ SATA installation
The drive fits any standard 2.5″ SATA tray or caddy and uses the common 7-pin data plus 15-pin power connectors. No special drivers are required; the operating system detects it as a basic SATA block device. Problems usually appear when a system BIOS is set to RAID or IDE mode instead of AHCI, or when the SATA cable is not fully seated.
Limited by the SATA 3 Gb/s link
The 3 Gb/s interface caps sequential throughput well below what a 7 200 RPM mechanism could deliver on a faster bus. Random I/O performance is constrained by the mechanical latency and the modest 16 MB buffer. The drive is unsuitable for workloads that demand sustained high bandwidth or very low access times.
