WD Scorpio Black 250GB 7200RPM SATA

The Western Digital WD2500BEKT is a 2.5-inch internal hard drive with a 250GB capacity and a 7200RPM spindle speed. It connects through a SATA 3Gb/s interface and includes a 16MB cache buffer. The drive is supplied in new condition and is designed to fit standard laptop drive bays.

Suits notebook upgrades needing 7200RPM speed

This drive suits users replacing a laptop hard drive who want 7200RPM performance in a 2.5-inch SATA form factor. It is not for systems that require a 6Gb/s SATA connection or a larger storage capacity. Buyers needing an SSD interface or a 3.5-inch desktop drive should look elsewhere.

SATA 3Gb/s interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the SATA 3Gb/s interface. The host must provide a matching SATA data and power connector for a 2.5-inch drive. If the system only supports a faster SATA revision or a different physical connector, this drive will not work.

Questions about this item

How does the 7200 RPM speed affect everyday laptop use?

The 7200 RPM spindle reduces access latency compared with 5400 RPM drives, so applications and files open faster while the drive still draws similar power.

What does the SATA 3Gb/s interface mean for transfer speeds?

The SATA 3Gb/s connection limits the drive's maximum data rate to the bandwidth of that standard, so sustained reads and writes stay within its ceiling.

Will this 2.5 inch drive fit my laptop's drive bay?

It uses the standard 2.5 inch form factor and a SATA connector, matching the drive bay and cabling found in most notebooks.
