Capacity and form factor
This Toshiba mk6034gsx is a 60 GB 2.5 inch laptop internal hard drive with a 9.5 mm height. It suits owners of older notebooks or external enclosures that require a SATA 1.5 Gb/s drive with a 69 mm width and 100 mm length. The bare-drive packaging means no cables or brackets are included.
Upgrade from 4200 RPM
The 5400 RPM spindle speed and 8 MB cache deliver up to a 12 percent performance improvement over 4200 RPM drives. Average seek time is 12 ms and average latency is 5.55 ms. The jump is worth it when replacing a slower mechanical drive in a legacy SATA 150 system.
Build integration
The SATA 1.5 Gb/s interface connects directly to compatible notebook controllers or external enclosures without adapters. A 300,000 hour MTTF rating supports occasional backup or data-transfer workloads. The drive does not suit systems that need higher capacities, faster interfaces or solid-state responsiveness.

Questions about this item
Will the 9.5 mm height and 69 mm × 100 mm footprint fit my 2.5-inch drive bay?
Yes, the drive measures 9.5 mm high, 69 mm wide and 100 mm long, matching the standard 2.5-inch notebook form factor.
Does the SATA 1.5 Gb/s interface need a special driver or jumper setting during installation?
No, the SATA 1.5 Gb/s interface is plug-and-play; the common mistake is not securing the drive with the four bottom mounting screws.
When should I plan to replace a drive rated for 300,000 MTTF hours?
MTTF is a statistical average, not a service interval; replace the drive if SMART reports reallocated sectors or if performance drops noticeably.
