Ideal laptop storage upgrade
This Samsung Spinpoint M7 drive delivers 320GB of capacity in a standard 2.5 inch form factor. It connects through a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface and spins at 5400 RPM with an 8MB cache. The bare drive arrives without cables or brackets for direct installation.
Replaces slower or smaller notebook drives
Swapping an older 5400 RPM unit with less capacity or a worn mechanical disk yields faster seek times of 12ms and lower latency of 5.6ms. The jump is worth it when the original drive limits boot speed, application loading or available space for documents and media.
Fits any 2.5 inch SATA bay
The drive slides into standard laptop drive caddies and works with common SATA data and power connectors. SilentSeek and NoiseGuard technologies reduce acoustic output for quiet environments. TuMR/PMR head design with FOD technology and load/unload ramps protect data during transport. It does not serve builds needing solid-state speed or capacities above 320GB.

Questions about this item
Does the 2.5 inch form factor fit a standard laptop drive bay?
Yes, the 2.5 inch form factor matches the standard laptop internal drive bay and uses the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface for both data and power.
What is the correct way to secure the bare drive during installation?
Mount the drive using the four screw holes on the bottom or sides of the 2.5 inch chassis; a common mistake is leaving it loose without screws.
How can I monitor the health of the 320GB drive over time?
Use the built-in ATA S.M.A.R.T. feature set with monitoring software to track reallocated sectors, seek errors and temperature trends.
