Yes but the 5000aaks and lower models do not have perpendicular recording as the 7500aaks has; which results in poorer performance. There is a significant difference between the 500aaks and 7500aaks from what I have read
For me, these are storage drives. Performance means very little.
Good price OP! :thumbsup:
