Capacity and interface
The HGST Travelstar 5K100 is a 100GB 2.5-inch laptop hard drive with a SATA 1.5Gb/s interface. It spins at 5400 RPM and includes an 8MB cache. The bare drive is supplied new and is intended as a direct replacement for compatible notebooks.
Who this suits and who should look elsewhere
This drive fits older laptops that require a SATA 1.5Gb/s mechanical drive with a 2.5-inch form factor. Its low power consumption and 600,000 load/unload cycles support mobile use. Buyers who want more storage capacity, a faster spindle speed or a modern SATA revision should look elsewhere.
Deciding specification
The SATA 1.5Gb/s interface is the specification that determines whether this drive will work in a given system. Compatibility depends on the notebook accepting a 1.5Gb/s SATA connection and a 2.5-inch drive bay.
