250 GB 7200 RPM SATA desktop drive
This 3.5-inch internal hard drive provides 250 GB of storage on a SATA 6 Gb/s interface. It spins at 7200 RPM with a 16 MB cache to handle everyday desktop workloads. The drive is supplied new and fits standard desktop drive bays.
Sustained throughput on mechanical media
Sequential transfers settle at the rate allowed by the 7200 RPM platters and SATA link rather than peaking at burst speed. The 16 MB buffer smooths short bursts but does not change the steady-state transfer ceiling. Random I/O latency reflects mechanical seek time under continuous load. Buyers needing higher sustained bandwidth or lower latency should consider solid-state alternatives.
