What this drive is and who it fits
The Samsung Spinpoint M7E HM321HI is a 320GB 2.5-inch laptop hard drive with a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface. It spins at 5400 RPM and carries an 8MB cache. The unit is supplied as a bare drive in new condition. It suits owners of older notebooks or external enclosures that accept a standard 2.5-inch SATA mechanical drive.
Check your laptop before ordering
Verify that your system has a free 2.5-inch drive bay and a SATA data plus power connector. Confirm the BIOS or operating system can address a 320GB volume. Because the drive is a bare unit, no mounting screws, caddy or adapter are included; reuse hardware from the old drive or source it separately.
Who should buy it and who should not
This drive fits users replacing a failed mechanical drive in a legacy laptop or expanding a compatible external case. It is not for buyers who need the speed of a solid-state drive, who require a higher capacity for modern workloads, or whose device only accepts M.2 or PCIe storage.
