WD - Mainstream 500GB Internal Serial ATA Hard Drive for Desktops
- Key Specs
- Storage Drive Type: HDD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Rotational Speed: 7200 revolutions per minute (The rate at which the hard drive spins its platters. The higher the rotational speed, the faster the drive can read and write data.)
- Interface(s): SATA (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

Q: Is this drive compatible with a Mac G5 PPC and OSX 10.5.8?
A: I don't know if it would work on your Mac but the drive was compatible with my laptop which is a MacBook Pro 13" OSX 10.10.5
A: Your computer may only read some of the memory capacity and lose the rest, I recommend only a 500 GB solid state to Speed that baby Up and Stay away from the extended memory because your processor may not be compatible.
A: I asked this same question and apparently it's up to the store to update it at the end of the night? But realistically, they might only update it when they do their stock counts.
Q: Does this drive come with the SATA power and data cables needed to connect to the PC?
A: I got a sata cable but no power in mine. I don't know if mine was older stock but, the in the box guide doesn't mention either...
Q: is this compatible with the dell OptiPlex 740
A: Yes it is
Q: Will this hard drive work as a replacement drive for toshiba C55a laptop?
