Drive Identity
This Toshiba MK2561GSYB is a 2.5-inch laptop internal hard drive with a 250GB capacity. It spins at 7200 RPM and includes a 16MB cache on a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface. The unit is supplied new in retail or OEM packaging.
Fit and Limits
It suits owners replacing a failed 2.5-inch SATA drive in an older notebook or using the drive in a compatible external enclosure. Builders who need a larger capacity, a faster solid-state drive, or a different physical form factor should look elsewhere.

The SATA 3.0Gb/s interface is the single specification that determines whether this drive will work in the target system. Verify that the laptop or enclosure accepts a 2.5-inch SATA hard drive before purchase.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 250 GB version or a larger capacity for my laptop?
The 250 GB MK2561GSYB is the only capacity offered for this model; if you need more space you must select a different drive.
What does the 7200 RPM spindle speed deliver in daily use?
The 7200 RPM rotation provides quicker data access and shorter load times than slower-spinning laptop drives.
Will the SATA 3.0 Gb/s interface limit performance on a modern motherboard?
The drive runs at SATA 3.0 Gb/s, so sustained throughput will not exceed that link speed even on a faster SATA controller.
