Desktop storage upgrades and replacements

Questions about this item
How does the 7200 RPM spindle speed affect everyday use?
The 7200 RPM rotation speed provides faster data access than slower drives, making operating system boot times and application launches feel more responsive.
What does the SATA 6Gbps interface mean for actual transfer rates?
The SATA 6Gbps interface caps the maximum theoretical bandwidth at 6 Gbps; real-world sustained transfers are limited by the drive’s mechanical speed and the 32 MB cache.
Will this 3.5 inch drive fit in my desktop drive bay?
The 3.5 inch form factor matches standard desktop drive bays and uses the common SATA data and power connectors for installation.
