Seagate Momentus 160GB SATA drive
This refurbished 160GB laptop hard drive uses a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface and spins at 5400 RPM with an 8MB cache. It includes G-Force Protection to help safeguard data if the notebook is dropped and Smart Align for a simple transition to 4K sector formatting. The drive is suited for replacing a failed drive in an older notebook or for basic storage expansion.
Buyers needing higher capacity
This drive suits users who need a direct, low-capacity replacement for a legacy SATA laptop bay. It does not meet the needs of buyers who want more storage space, faster data transfer rates, or a modern solid-state alternative. Systems requiring a newer interface or larger cache will not be compatible with this specification.
SATA 3.0Gb/s interface decides compatibility
The single specification that determines fit is the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface; the notebook must support this exact connection standard. Verify the laptop’s drive bay accepts a 2.5-inch SATA drive before purchase. The 5400 RPM speed and 8MB cache define the performance level you can expect.

Questions about this item
Should I pick this 160 GB model or look for a larger capacity?
This drive provides 160 GB of storage. If you need more space for applications or media, choose a higher-capacity drive; if 160 GB fits your workload, this model is sufficient.
What does 5400 RPM mean for everyday laptop use?
The 5400 RPM spindle speed delivers quiet, low-power operation suitable for routine tasks such as web browsing, office work and video playback.
How does the SATA 3.0 Gb/s interface limit real-world speed?
The SATA 3.0 Gb/s link caps maximum transfer at 3.0 Gb/s, so sustained read and write rates will not exceed that ceiling even if the drive mechanics could go faster.
