The Seagate ST500LM012 is a 2.5 inch internal hard drive that offers 500GB of dependable storage for everyday tasks. It connects through a SATA II interface that runs at up to 3 Gb/s, so it drops straight into most notebooks and small form factor PCs without the need for adapters or special cables.
The platter spins at 5400 rpm and can deliver media transfer rates as high as 145 MB/s. Native command queuing rearranges read and write requests on the fly, which helps the drive keep up when multiple applications are open. An average seek time of 12 ms maintains responsive access to files, whether you are loading an operating system or pulling up large project folders.
Seagate’s SilentSeek and NoiseGuard technologies dampen the clicks and whirs that mechanical drives often produce, making the ST500LM012 a quiet choice for study areas, conference rooms, or shared living spaces. Power use stays low, drawing about 2.3 W while reading or writing and only 0.7 W when idle, so laptops run cooler and enjoy better battery life.
This drive suits anyone who needs moderate capacity without sacrificing portability or efficiency. Slip it into a laptop that needs a fresh start, mount it inside a compact home theater PC for media storage, or slide it into a USB enclosure to create a pocket-sized library of documents, photos, and videos. With an operating range from 5 °C to 55 °C, it handles typical indoor environments with ease.
