Questions about this item
Will the 8 MB cache need any service or replacement during the drive's life?
The 8 MB cache is built into the drive's controller board and has no separate maintenance or replacement schedule.
What limit appears first when the 5400 RPM mechanism runs continuously?
The 12 ms average seek time and 5.5 ms latency define the sustained throughput ceiling for the 60 GB platters.
How much heat and noise does the 2.5 inch IDE drive produce in all-day operation?
The 200 G operational shock rating and 5400 RPM spindle indicate low acoustic output and modest heat for typical laptop workloads.
