  • 7200 RPM speed accelerates load times and file transfers

Product identity

This is a 250GB 2.5-inch SATA hard drive spinning at 7200RPM with a 32MB buffer. It is built for desktop systems that use a standard SATA 6Gb/s interface and need a compact mechanical drive.

Who it suits

The drive fits builders upgrading a 2.5-inch bay in a desktop or an all-in-one PC where a 7.2K RPM SATA disk is required. It is not for buyers who need more storage capacity than the stated 250GB, nor for systems that cannot accept a 2.5-inch SATA device.

Deciding specification

The single specification that determines fit is the 2.5-inch SATA 6Gb/s interface combined with the 7200RPM spindle speed. If the motherboard or chassis only supports a different physical size or a different interface protocol, this drive will not install or function.

Highlights

  • 7200 RPM speed accelerates load times and file transfers
  • 250 GB capacity stores games, media and work files
  • 32 MB cache smooths burst read and write performance
  • 6 Gb/s SATA interface delivers full bandwidth on modern platforms
  • 5 inch form factor fits laptops and compact desktops

Questions about this item

What does the 7200 RPM spindle speed mean for everyday use?

The 7200 RPM rotation gives faster data access than slower laptop drives, so operating system boots and application launches feel snappier on this 250 GB unit.

What does the SATA 6Gb/s interface mean for real-world throughput?

The drive connects over a standard SATA 6Gb/s port, so it works with any desktop or laptop that accepts a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive.

Will this 2.5 inch drive fit a standard 3.5 inch desktop bay?

The drive is a 2.5 inch form factor; you need a 2.5 to 3.5 inch adapter bracket to mount it in a regular desktop drive bay.
