Seagate EE25.2 Series 80GB 2.5" SATA drive
The Seagate ST980817SM is a new 80GB laptop internal hard drive from the EE25.2 Series. It spins at 5400 RPM with an 8MB cache and connects via a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface. The 2.5-inch bare drive uses RunOn Technology to operate in extreme temperatures and tolerate high vibration and shock levels.
Suits embedded or industrial upgrades needing
This drive fits systems that require a SATA 3.0Gb/s 2.5-inch drive with enhanced environmental durability. It is not for users who need higher capacity or faster rotational speed for performance workloads. Buyers needing a drive with a larger cache buffer or a different physical interface should look elsewhere.
Deciding spec: SATA 3.0Gb/s interface
The SATA 3.0Gb/s interface determines host compatibility, while the RunOn Technology defines the operating envelope for extreme conditions. Verify that the target system uses a standard SATA connection and requires the vibration and temperature tolerance this series provides.

Questions about this item
What practical throughput does the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface cap at?
The SATA 3.0Gb/s interface limits maximum transfer rates to 3.0Gb/s, so real-world throughput stays within that ceiling regardless of the drive’s internal speed.
What physical space and mounting does the 2.5" form factor require?
The drive uses a standard 2.5-inch form factor designed for laptop drive bays and caddies that accept 2.5-inch SATA drives.
How is the bare drive installed, and what step is often missed?
Slide the bare drive into the bay, secure it with the chassis screws or caddy rails, then attach both the SATA data and power cables — skipping the power cable is the common oversight.
