Product identity
This is a Seagate Momentus 5400.4 laptop internal hard drive with 160GB capacity and a 2.5 inch form factor. It connects via a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface and spins at 5400 RPM with an 8MB cache. The drive is supplied as a bare unit in new condition.
Who it suits
The drive fits older notebooks or external enclosures that accept a 2.5 inch SATA mechanical drive. It is not suited for systems that require a solid-state drive or a larger storage capacity than 160GB. Buyers needing faster access times should consider alternative technologies.
Deciding specification
The SATA 3.0Gb/s interface determines whether this drive will work in a given machine. Verify that the host system provides a compatible SATA port and can accommodate a 2.5 inch drive before purchase.
