Suits basic capacity needs

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 250GB 7200RPM version or a different capacity for my desktop?
The 250GB 7200RPM model suits a boot drive or secondary storage where fast access matters. Larger capacities store more files but cost more; smaller ones cost less but fill quickly. Match the capacity to the data you plan to keep on this drive.
What does the 6Gb/s SATA rating mean for actual transfer speeds in my PC?
The 6Gb/s SATA link is the interface ceiling. Real-world sustained reads and writes are limited by the 7200RPM platters and 16MB cache, typically well below the link maximum, but the drive will not bottleneck a modern SATA controller.
