250 GB 2.5" SATA Hard Drive

The Western Digital WD2500BPVT is a 250 GB internal hard drive with a 5400 RPM spindle speed and an 8 MB cache. It connects through a 2.5" SATA 3 Gb/s interface and is supplied in new condition. The drive is built for notebooks and other devices that accept a 2.5 inch SATA form factor.

Suits Laptop Upgrades and Light Storage

This drive suits users replacing a failed laptop drive or adding modest secondary storage where a 2.5" SATA bay is available. It is not for buyers who want more storage capacity or higher rotational speeds for demanding workloads. Systems that only accept 3.5 inch drives or require a faster interface cannot use this unit.

5400 RPM Spindle Speed

The 5400 RPM spindle speed is the single specification that decides whether this drive fits the intended use. It determines the sustained transfer rate and access latency you can expect. Verify that the target system supports a 2.5" SATA 3 Gb/s connection before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will this 2.5" SATA 3Gb/s drive work in my older laptop that only supports SATA 1.5Gb/s?

Yes, the SATA 3Gb/s interface is backward compatible with SATA 1.5Gb/s controllers, so the WD2500BPVT will operate at the slower speed without any configuration changes.

How can I verify the drive is running at 5400 RPM with its 8MB cache after installation?

Use a tool like CrystalDiskInfo or the BIOS/UEFI hardware monitor to confirm the model WD2500BPVT reports 5400 RPM rotation speed and an 8MB buffer size.

Does the box include mounting screws or a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter bracket for desktop bays?

The drive is shipped as a bare 2.5-inch unit; mounting screws and any desktop adapter bracket must be purchased separately.
