Overview

The WD Caviar Blue WD5000AAKS is an older desktop drive that many repair shops and IT teams still look for. It is a 500GB 3.5in LFF unit with a SATA interface at 3Gb/s, the speed used by many older motherboards.

The spindle turns at 7,200 RPM and the cache is 16MB. Maximum transfer rate is 126MB/s. Power use is 5.4W during read/write and 4.9W at idle, and it weighs 0.45kg.

A typical reason to buy it is to replace a failed drive with the same model, for example in an office PC, a point-of-sale box or a machine that runs older software. It also works on newer SATA ports.

The WD5000AAKS is available New or Refurbished, with 1 year or 3 years of warranty.
