1.8-inch 250 GB internal drive
The Toshiba MK2533GSG is a 1.8-inch internal hard drive with a 250 GB capacity, 5400 RPM spindle speed and 16 MB cache. It connects through a Serial ATA Revision 3.0 interface and operates on a 3.3 V supply. The drive is supplied new and meets RoHS compliance requirements.
Suits space-constrained legacy systems
Builders working on older ultraportable laptops, compact embedded appliances or industrial equipment that require a 1.8-inch form factor will find this drive a direct fit. Systems that need higher throughput, larger capacities or a 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch form factor should consider other options.
5400 RPM spindle speed decides fit
The 5400 RPM rotation rate determines the drive’s 15 ms average seek time, 5.6 ms latency and 3 Gb/sec host transfer rate. If the application demands faster random access or sustained throughput, a higher spindle speed or solid-state alternative would be required.

Questions about this item
What physical space is needed to fit the 1.8 inch 54.0 mm by 78.5 mm by 8.0 mm drive?
The drive measures 54.0 mm wide, 78.5 mm deep and 8.0 mm high, so the bay or adapter must provide at least those clearances.
Which connectors must be aligned when installing the Serial ATA Revision 3.0 drive?
Match the drive's Serial ATA Revision 3.0 data and power connectors to the host ports, press straight in until fully seated, then secure the 62 g unit with the correct screws.
When should the drive be replaced based on its operating temperature range?
Replace the drive if it consistently runs outside the 5° to 65°C operating range or if SMART data shows reallocated sectors.
