250 GB SATA desktop drive
The Western Digital Caviar Blue 250GB 7200RPM SATA 3.5-inch internal hard drive adds 250 GB of storage to a desktop PC. It spins at 7200 RPM with a 16 MB cache and uses a SATA 6Gb/s interface. The drive suits users who need a straightforward mechanical disk for bulk files or a secondary volume.
Standard 3.5-inch SATA installation
Mount the drive in a 3.5-inch bay, connect the SATA data and power cables, and initialise it in the operating system. The 3.5-inch form factor will not fit 2.5-inch laptop bays or M.2 slots. Mechanical drives are slower than solid-state alternatives for boot or application workloads.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the 250GB Caviar Blue is running at 7200RPM after installation?
Use a tool such as CrystalDiskInfo or the BIOS SMART page; both will report the spindle speed as 7200RPM and show the SATA 6Gb/s link rate.
What comes in the box with the WD2500AAKX-083CA0 and what must I supply myself?
The drive itself is included; you must provide a SATA data cable, a SATA power connector from the PSU, and four 3.5-inch mounting screws.
