Seagate 500GB 3.5" SATA 6.0Gb/s Internal HDD

The Seagate ST500DM002 is a hard drive that provides 500GB of dependable storage inside a 3.5-inch housing. Designed for desktop towers, home servers, and direct-attached storage enclosures, it offers a simple way to expand capacity for documents, media libraries, and system backups without changing the rest of your setup.

This model connects through a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface, so it can move data quickly when paired with a modern motherboard, yet it remains backward-compatible with older SATA ports. A 16MB cache helps the drive handle frequent read and write requests smoothly, keeping everyday tasks such as launching applications, copying files, or streaming videos responsive.

Seagate’s AcuTrac servo technology guides the read/write heads with fine precision, which maintains reliable performance even when the drive is dealing with tightly packed data tracks. The bare-drive format lets you install it in any standard 3.5-inch bay, whether you are upgrading a gaming PC, adding capacity to a family computer, or building a small office backup server.

Because it follows standard SATA and power connections, setup is straightforward: slide the drive into the bay, attach the cables, and initialize it in your operating system. Once installed, the ST500DM002 stands ready to hold large photo archives, expansive music collections, game libraries, or daily work files, giving you room to grow without breaking the budget.
