Why it’s a great pick

• Form factor: Standard 3.5-inch desktop size for near-universal case and tray compatibility.

• Interface: SATA III 6 Gb/s with backward compatibility to older SATA revisions.

• Performance: 5400–7200 RPM (model-dependent) with generous cache for smooth file browsing, installs, and streaming.

• Recording tech: CMR on most lots for consistent writes and wider RAID/clone compatibility (ask for current batch specs).

• Quiet & cool: Tuned for low vibration and whisper-quiet operation in single- and dual-drive desktops.

Golden Scrap Yard testing & grading
Each drive is securely wiped, SMART-verified, and surface-scanned to check reallocation, pending sectors, and interface health. We label drives with capacity, interface, power-on hours (when applicable), and batch IDs to simplify fleet deployment. Need matched firmware/date codes? We can curate lots for consistent imaging.

Deployment tips

1. Mount using four screws or sleds with vibration grommets.

2. Connect to a SATA III port; enable AHCI in BIOS for best performance.

3. For Windows, initialize GPT and format NTFS; for Linux, use ext4 or your preferred filesystem.

4. Keep temps under 45°C with front intake airflow.

5. For game libraries, pair with an NVMe boot drive for the best overall responsiveness.
