Capacity and interface
This is a new 500 GB Toshiba laptop hard drive with a 2.5 inch form factor, 7200 RPM spindle speed and a SATA 3.0 Gb/s interface. It includes 16 MB of cache and measures 9.5 mm in height.
Who it suits
The drive suits users replacing a failed 2.5 inch SATA drive in an older notebook or upgrading capacity for general storage. It is not for buyers who need a solid-state drive, a drive larger than 500 GB, a 6 Gb/s SATA link or a thinner 7 mm z-height.
Deciding specification
The SATA 3.0 Gb/s interface and 9.5 mm height determine whether this drive fits and works in the target laptop; verify the host connector and bay clearance before purchase.

Questions about this item
Does my laptop need a 2.5-inch SATA 3.0Gb/s bay to install this 500GB 7200 RPM drive?
Yes, the drive fits a standard 2.5-inch 9.5mm SATA 3.0Gb/s bay and requires that interface to operate.
Will this 16MB cache SATA 3.0Gb/s drive work if my older laptop only supports SATA 1.5Gb/s?
The drive is backward compatible with SATA 1.5Gb/s controllers, though it will run at the slower link speed.
How can I verify the 7200 RPM MK5061GSYN is healthy after installation?
Run a SMART self-test and confirm the drive reports zero reallocated sectors and passes the short DST.
