250 GB 2.5" SATA laptop drive
This 250 GB 2.5-inch hard drive connects through a SATA 3.0 Gb/s interface and spins at 5400 RPM with 8 MB cache. It is intended for notebook upgrades or replacements where a standard-height drive is required.
Bare-drive build and SATA connector
The unit ships as a bare drive without brackets or cables, so installation relies on the laptop’s existing caddy and SATA data-plus-power connector. An eco-conscious design and a 600 000-hour MTTF rating indicate a focus on longevity in typical mobile workloads.
Check bay height and SATA generation
Verify that the notebook accepts a 2.5-inch drive of standard thickness and that its controller supports SATA 3.0 Gb/s operation. Systems limited to an older SATA revision will still work but at the lower link speed. Buyers needing a taller drive or a different interface should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
What does the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface mean for real-world throughput?
The SATA 3.0Gb/s link caps at 300 MB/s, though the 5400 RPM drive itself will deliver lower sustained transfer rates in daily use.
What physical space does the 2.5" drive require inside a laptop?
It fits a standard 2.5-inch drive bay with the 250GB capacity and 8MB cache in the MK2565GSX model.
How is the drive installed and which step is often missed?
Connect the SATA data and power cables, secure the drive with screws, then initialise and format the 250GB volume in the operating system before storing files.
