Compact 250 GB SATA hard drive
The Toshiba DT01ACA025 is a 3.5-inch desktop drive with a 250 GB capacity, 7200 RPM spindle speed and 32 MB cache. It connects through a SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface and uses Advanced Format 512e sectors. The bare-drive unit features a low-power, halogen-free design.
Best for basic storage upgrades
This drive suits users adding inexpensive bulk storage to a desktop PC or replacing a failed mechanical disk. It is not suited for buyers who want faster boot times or application loading, nor for builds that require larger capacities or solid-state responsiveness.
SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface
The drive communicates over a standard SATA 6.0 Gb/s link, so the host must provide a compatible SATA port and data cable. Without that connection the drive cannot be used, making the interface the single specification that decides fit.
