Seagate Momentus 7200.4 ST9500423AS 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB SATA 3.0Gb/s 2.5" laptop hard drive

Seagate Momentus 7200.4 500GB 2.5" SATA Laptop Drive

This Seagate Momentus 7200.4 internal hard drive provides 500GB of storage in a standard 2.5 inch form factor. It connects via a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface and spins at 7200 RPM with a 16MB cache. The drive measures 9.5mm in height, making it compatible with most laptop bays designed for this thickness. It is supplied as a bare drive without cables or brackets.

Suits Laptop Upgrades Needing 7200 RPM Performance

This drive suits users replacing a failed laptop drive or upgrading capacity where a 7200 RPM mechanical drive is required. The G-Force Protection technology helps protect data if the laptop is dropped. Buyers needing solid-state speeds, larger capacities, or a manufacturer warranty should look elsewhere. The product is end-of-sale and carries no original manufacturer warranty; a one-year seller warranty applies instead.

9.5mm Height Determines Laptop Bay Fit

The critical specification is the 9.5mm maximum height, which dictates whether this drive fits a specific laptop drive bay. Many modern ultra-thin laptops require 7mm drives and will not accept this unit. Verify the bay clearance before purchase. The SATA 3.0Gb/s interface and 2.5 inch form factor are standard, but the physical height is the deciding constraint.
