Seagate BarraCuda Pro 500GB 7200RPM 2.5" Internal Hard Drive

The Seagate ST500LM034 is a 2.5-inch internal hard drive that combines dependable capacity with brisk performance for day-to-day computing. It gives you 500GB of space, enough to house operating systems, project files, photos, and a healthy library of games or media without feeling cramped.

Inside, a 7200RPM motor works with a 128MB cache to move data quickly, reaching sustained transfer rates up to 160MB/s. Applications open with less waiting, large files copy in less time, and overall system responsiveness feels smoother when compared with 5400RPM alternatives.

The drive uses a standard SATA III 6Gb/s interface, so it drops into most desktops, laptops, and small form-factor systems without special adapters. At only 7 mm in height, it also fits laptops that are thin and light, making it a practical replacement for aging stock drives or a speedy addition inside an external USB enclosure.

Whether you are a creative professional juggling photo libraries, a student balancing coursework and entertainment, or a small-office user who needs reliable local storage for important documents, this BarraCuda Pro handles it all while drawing on more than two decades of Seagate engineering. A two-year Rescue Data Recovery plan is included, adding a safety net that can save critical data should the unexpected happen.
