About This Product
The Western Digital AV 500GB HDD is a 3.5-inch SATA 3.0 Gb/s drive with an 8MB cache and 7200 RPM spindle speed. This drive is suitable for basic storage needs in older systems or as a secondary drive for less frequently accessed data. Its 500GB capacity and SATA II interface are outdated compared to modern SSDs and larger HDDs, offering significantly lower performance and capacity per dollar.
