2.5" SATA 1.5Gb/s 7200 RPM drive

This Toshiba MK5061GSYB is a 2.5-inch internal hard drive designed for laptop storage upgrades or replacements. It spins at 7200 RPM with a 16MB cache and connects through a SATA 1.5Gb/s interface. The drive is supplied new and suits users needing mechanical storage in the 2.5-inch form factor.

Suits older SATA laptops needing 7200 RPM speed

The drive fits notebooks that accept a 2.5-inch SATA 1.5Gb/s device and benefit from 7200 RPM rotational speed. Builders whose systems require a faster SATA revision or a larger cache should look at something else. Users wanting solid-state responsiveness or a different physical size will not be served by this mechanical unit.

SATA 1.5Gb/s interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the SATA 1.5Gb/s interface; the host must support this revision for the drive to operate. Cache of 16MB and 7200 RPM spindle speed are fixed characteristics that follow from the model. Verify the laptop's drive bay and controller match these parameters before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the MK5061GSYB come with mounting screws or a SATA cable, or do I need to buy them separately?

The drive is supplied in retail or OEM packaging that may vary; mounting hardware and cables are not included and must be sourced separately.

The MK5061GSYB is listed at 7200 RPM with 16 MB cache on a SATA 1.5 Gb/s link — is there a faster version of this same model?

This MPN is a single configuration: 7200 RPM, 16 MB cache, SATA 1.5 Gb/s. No higher-speed variant of the MK5061GSYB exists.

With a SATA 1.5 Gb/s interface and 7200 RPM platters, what real-world throughput should I expect once the drive is installed?

The SATA 1.5 Gb/s interface limits the maximum burst rate; sustained transfer will be lower and depends on the system's controller and workload.
