Capacity and interface
This Seagate ST980811AS-RK is a new 80 GB laptop internal hard drive with a 2.5 inch form factor. It connects through a SATA 1.5 Gb/s interface and spins at 5400 RPM with an 8 MB cache. The drive uses perpendicular recording technology for data density.
Suitability and limits
It suits owners of older laptops that require a SATA 1.5 Gb/s 2.5 inch drive for replacement or modest capacity upgrades. Buyers needing higher capacities or faster interfaces such as SATA 3 Gb/s or 6 Gb/s should look at other drives. Systems that only accept 1.8 inch drives or proprietary connectors cannot use this model.
Deciding specification
The SATA 1.5 Gb/s interface is the single specification that decides compatibility. Verify that the laptop's drive bay and controller support this exact interface and the 2.5 inch form factor before purchase.
