HGST Travelstar 7K200 80GB Notebook Drive
The HGST Travelstar 7K200 is a 2.5 inch internal hard drive built for laptop upgrades or replacements. It delivers 80GB of storage on a SATA 1.5Gb/s interface and spins at 7200 RPM with a 16MB cache. The drive arrives as a bare unit without mounting brackets or cables.
Suits older laptops needing a 7200 RPM SATA drive
This drive fits notebooks that accept a 2.5 inch SATA 1.5Gb/s mechanism and benefit from 7200 RPM speed. It is not for systems that require a SATA 3Gb/s or 6Gb/s interface for full performance. Buyers who want more storage capacity or a solid-state drive should look at something else.
The deciding spec is the SATA 1.5Gb/s interface
Your notebook must support a SATA 1.5Gb/s connection for this drive to operate correctly. A newer SATA revision will usually fall back to this speed, but the link will not run faster than 1.5Gb/s. Confirm the host controller specification before purchase.

Questions about this item
Does the 2.5-inch form factor fit a standard laptop drive bay?
The 2.5-inch form factor matches the standard laptop internal drive bay used for SATA hard drives.
What is the correct way to connect the SATA 1.5Gb/s interface, and what step is often missed?
Attach both the SATA data cable and the SATA power cable; the step often missed is securing the power connector firmly so it does not work loose.
When will the 16MB cache or 7200 RPM mechanism typically need replacement?
Mechanical drives with 7200 RPM spindle speeds and 16MB cache generally last several years; replace if SMART data reports reallocated sectors or unusual noise appears.
