Seagate​ 500GB 2.5" HDD​

The Seagate Laptop Thin HDD ST500LT012 is a 2.5" internal hard drive with 500 GB capacity, designed for thin laptops and compact systems. Its 7.0 mm slim profile lets it fit into slim notebook bays and external 2.5" enclosures where space is limited.

The drive uses a SATA interface (Serial ATA Revision 2.6, up to 3.0 Gb/s), spins at 5400 RPM and features a 16 MB cache—providing a balance of storage capacity and low power draw for everyday use such as file storage, backups and multimedia. Typical uses include upgrading or replacing a laptop HDD and adding bulk storage to compact PCs.

Standard 2.5" dimensions (70.10 × 100.55 mm) and the slim 7 mm height ensure broad compatibility with laptops and small-form-factor systems; detailed operational figures (seek times, power consumption, etc.) are available in Seagate’s technical documentation for ST500LT012.
