Seagate ST1000DM003 1TB 3.5-Inch Desktop HDD

Expert Features 1TB Everyday Storage : A practical capacity upgrade for desktop PCs, giving you room for documents, applications, photos, music, videos, backups and general files without paying SSD-level prices per gigabyte. 7200 RPM Performance : The 7200 RPM spindle speed delivers faster mechanical-drive responsiveness than common 5400 RPM desktop drives, making it suitable for everyday computing and mass storage. SATA 6Gb/s Connectivity : Connects through a standard SATA III interface with up to 6Gb/s interface bandwidth, keeping installation straightforward in compatible desktop computers. 64MB Cache : The built-in 64MB cache helps manage frequently accessed data and supports smoother communication between the hard drive and the computer. Standard 3.5-Inch Form Factor : Designed for desktop PC cases equipped with a compatible 3.5-inch drive bay—not for direct installation inside most laptops. Desktop PC Compatibility : Requires an available SATA motherboard port, SATA data cable, SATA power connector from the power supply and sufficient internal mounting space. Internal Bare-Drive Format : The drive is supplied as an internal storage component; retail accessories, mounting screws and SATA cables are not specified as included. New Pullout Condition : Removed from a new or unused assembled system rather than supplied in sealed retail packaging, making it important to describe the condition clearly to customers. Large Media Capacity : Seagate’s supplied estimate indicates space for approximately 120 hours of HD video, 200,000 photos or 250,000 songs, although actual capacity varies by file size and formatting. Smart Storage Expansion : Ideal as a budget-friendly secondary drive beside an SSD—keep Windows and games on your fast SSD, then dump the heavyweight files here like a proper storage boss. Interface Speed Clarification : The stated 6Gb/s figure represents the SATA connection’s maximum theoretical bandwidth; it should not be presented as the hard drive’s real sustained read speed.
