HGST Ultrastar 500 GB desktop drive
This 3.5-inch HGST Ultrastar A7K1000 drive provides 500 GB of storage on a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface. It spins at 7200 RPM with a 32 MB cache and includes Data Lifeguard and Shock Guard features. The bare drive is intended for daily computing workloads in desktop systems.
Best for basic desktop storage upgrades
Suits users replacing a failed drive or adding secondary storage for documents and media where SATA 3.0Gb/s is the native interface. Not suited for builds that require a SATA 6.0Gb/s connection or larger capacities.
SATA 3.0Gb/s interface limits throughput
The drive connects through a SATA 3.0Gb/s port, which caps maximum transfer rates below the newer 6.0Gb/s standard. Verify that the host system has a compatible SATA 3.0Gb/s port or a backward-compatible 6.0Gb/s port before purchase.

Questions about this item
Will this 3.5" drive fit a standard desktop drive bay?
Yes, the 3.5-inch form factor matches standard desktop drive bays and uses the common SATA 3.0Gb/s interface for both data and power connections.
What is the correct way to connect the SATA 3.0Gb/s cables so the drive is detected?
Attach the SATA data cable to the motherboard port and the drive, then connect the SATA power cable from the power supply; the step often missed is fully seating both connectors until they click.
How long can the 7200RPM motor and 32MB cache be expected to last before replacement?
The Ultrastar A7K1000 design targets high reliability for daily computing, and the reseller provides a 1-year warranty period against failure.
