Capacity and form factor

This 500 GB, 2.5-inch SATA drive spins at 5400 RPM with a 64 MB cache. Its 7 mm height fits slim laptops and the PlayStation 3 console. The bare drive is intended for daily computing tasks and stores up to 100,000 photos or 60 hours of HD video.

SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface limit

The SATA 6.0 Gb/s link caps sequential throughput well below the speeds of modern PCIe storage. The 5400 RPM spindle and 64 MB buffer deliver modest random access performance suited to office work and media libraries, not heavy multi-tasking or large project files.

Check drive bay and connector

Verify your laptop or console accepts a 7 mm 2.5-inch SATA drive; some ultra-thin models only take shorter modules. Ensure a free SATA data and power connector is available inside the chassis before ordering.

Questions about this item

What capacity and cache size should I pick for everyday laptop use?

The drive comes in a single 500 GB capacity with 64 MB cache, which matches the listed specification for daily computing tasks.

How does the 5400 RPM speed affect real-world performance in a laptop?

At 5400 RPM the drive provides adequate throughput for booting, launching applications and streaming media in a typical notebook.

What does the SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface mean for actual transfer limits?

The SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface caps the theoretical maximum at 6.0 Gb/s, so sustained rates will stay within that ceiling.
