Questions about this item
Will this 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s drive work in an older laptop that only supports SATA 1.5Gb/s?
Yes, the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface is backwards compatible with SATA 1.5Gb/s controllers, so the drive will function at the slower speed.
How can I verify the drive is running at its rated 7200 RPM after installation?
Use a tool like CrystalDiskInfo or the SMART data in your BIOS to confirm the rotational speed shows 7200 RPM and the SATA link is negotiated at 3.0Gb/s.
Does the MK1661GSYB include a mounting bracket or SATA cable for a desktop PC?
The drive is supplied as a bare 2.5" unit; a 2.5-to-3.5" adapter bracket and a standard SATA data cable must be purchased separately for desktop use.
