Western Digital 500GB 5400 rpm SATA 6 Gb/s Hard Drive (WD5000LPCX)

The SATA 6 Gb/s interface provides greater flexibility for use with the latest chipsets as well as backwards compatibility to legacy systems with SATA 3 Gb/s requirements. The recording head never touches the disk media ensuring significantly less wear to the recording head and media as well as better drive protection in transit.
