160 GB 7200 RPM SATA notebook drive

The Toshiba MHZ2160BJ is a 2.5-inch internal hard drive with a 160 GB capacity and a 7200 RPM spindle speed. It connects through a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface and provides a 16 MB cache. The drive is supplied new in retail packaging.

Suits older laptops and slim desktops needing

This drive matches notebooks and slimline desktops that accept a 2.5-inch SATA device and benefit from 7200 RPM performance. Buyers who need larger capacities, solid-state speed or a different physical interface should consider other options. The 0.8 W typical idle power draw helps battery life in portable systems.

SATA 3.0Gb/s interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface; the host must provide a matching SATA data and power connection. Average seek time is 10.5 ms, average write time is 12.5 ms and average latency is 4.17 ms.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the MHZ2160BJ is running at 7200 RPM after installation?

Use a SMART monitoring tool such as CrystalDiskInfo; it will report the rotation speed as 7200 RPM and show the SATA link at 3.0 Gb/s, confirming the drive is operating to specification.

What comes in the retail box and what extra parts are needed to fit it in a laptop?

The retail package contains the 2.5-inch 160GB drive only; you will need a standard 7-pin SATA data cable and a 15-pin SATA power cable (or the laptop's internal SATA connector) which are not included.

Which capacity version of the MHZ2160BJ should I choose for a gaming notebook?

This model is offered only as 160GB; if you need more space you must select a different model, because no other capacities exist for this specific part number.
