Is this hard drive good for gaming desktops null

It's great for storage not great for gaming in my opinion. You can run a game on it but will likely have long load times. It is a 5200 RPM HDD so it is a bit slow. That said I have 2 in my rig, I keep games I want to keep up to date but not playing regularly on the HDD's and games I play regularly on SSD'S. I also keep my photo's, documents and some programs on there as well. It works out for me. Transfers are still speedy so moving a 60GB game from the Seagate to an SDD takes roughly 15 minutes or so. Hope this helps!

Yes is actually perfect for gaming.
