HGST 5K1000 1 TB SATA hard drive

This 2.5 inch internal hard drive offers 1000 GB of storage on a 6 Gbps SATA interface. It spins at 5400 RPM with an 8 MB cache. The drive suits desktop PCs and external enclosures that need affordable bulk capacity.

Standard 2.5 inch SATA installation

Mount the drive in any 2.5 inch bay or caddy and connect the SATA data and power cables. No drivers are required for modern operating systems. The only common issue is forgetting to initialise the disk in the OS before it appears.

1000 GB capacity for documents and media

The terabyte capacity comfortably holds large photo libraries, video collections and backups. The 5400 RPM speed and modest cache limit sustained transfer rates, so it is not suited to heavy random-access workloads or operating-system boot duties.
