Capacity and interface
This 1 TB 2.5 inch laptop drive uses a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface and spins at 5400 RPM with 8 MB cache. It fits the standard 9.5 mm drive bay found in most notebooks and external enclosures.
Build fit and requirements
The drive needs a free SATA data and power connection inside a 2.5 inch bay. Its 9.5 mm height, 69.75 mm width and 100.30 mm length match the common laptop form factor, leaving the M.2 slot free for a faster boot drive.
Who this suits and who should look elsewhere
It suits buyers adding bulk storage for documents, media or backups to an older laptop or a budget build. Builders who want an operating-system drive with lower latency or higher sequential throughput should look at solid-state options.
