  • 160 GB capacity stores your files and applications

160 GB 2.5" SATA laptop drive

This 160 GB 2.5-inch SATA hard drive spins at 7200 RPM with a 16 MB cache. It suits laptops or compact desktops that need a traditional mechanical drive. The 3 Gb/s interface connects directly to standard SATA ports. Buyers wanting solid-state speed or capacities above 160 GB should look elsewhere.

Capacity and everyday headroom

At 160 GB the drive holds an operating system, core applications and a modest media library. The 7200 RPM spindle and 16 MB buffer keep routine file access responsive. Large game installs, video projects or extensive photo archives will exceed the available space quickly.

Bare drive build and connector implications

The unit ships as a bare 2.5-inch mechanism without brackets, cables or mounting screws. Standard SATA data and power connectors fit any compliant laptop bay or desktop caddy. Installers must supply their own mounting hardware for the target chassis.

Questions about this item

Will the ST9160412AS drive work alongside an older SATA controller in my laptop?

The drive uses a SATA 3Gb/s interface, which is backward compatible with earlier SATA revisions, so it will operate on an older controller at the controller's maximum speed.

How can I verify the ST9160412AS is performing as expected after installation?

Check that the BIOS or operating system reports the drive as a 160GB, 7200RPM SATA device with a 16MB cache, and run a SMART health test to confirm no errors.

What is included with the ST9160412AS and what must I source separately?

The package contains the bare 2.5" SATA hard drive only; you will need to supply mounting screws, a SATA data cable and a SATA power connection yourself.
