Capacity and interface
This 750GB laptop hard drive uses a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface and a 2.5 inch form factor with a 9.5mm height. It is built for users who need a replacement drive for an older notebook or external enclosure that accepts a standard SATA mechanical disk.
Sustained workload behaviour
The drive spins at 5400 RPM with an 8MB cache and a 12ms average seek time. Sequential throughput is limited by the 3.0Gb/s link and the rotational speed, so large file transfers and long write sessions will run at mechanical-disk rates rather than SSD speeds.
Build and daily implications
The bare drive measures 100mm by 69.85mm and carries a 400G operating shock rating plus a 900G non-operating rating. Supplied erased to DoD 5220.22-M standard, it may show up to 25 bad sectors or cosmetic label differences, so buyers expecting a pristine retail unit should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
How loud and hot does the MK7559GSXP run during continuous operation?
The drive spins at 5400 RPM with a 12 ms average seek time, so acoustic output and heat are typical for a 2.5 inch laptop hard drive of this class.
What connector and physical space does my laptop need for this 2.5 inch SATA drive?
It requires a standard SATA 3.0Gb/s data and power connector and a 9.5 mm high 2.5 inch bay measuring up to 100 mm by 69.85 mm.
Will the MK7559GSXP work in an older laptop limited to SATA 1.5Gb/s?
Yes, the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface is backward compatible with 1.5Gb/s controllers, so the drive will operate at the slower link speed.
