Toshiba MQ01ABD100 1TB 5400RPM SATA 2.5in internal hard drive
A 1 TB 5400 RPM SATA notebook drive with 8 MB cache and Ramp Load technology for quiet, power-efficient storage
- 1 TB capacity stores large media libraries and backups
- 5400 rpm spindle speed balances throughput with quiet operation
- 8 MB cache buffers frequent read and write requests
- SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface enables fast data transfer rates
- Ramp Load technology protects the recording head during transport
Capacity and Interface
This 1 TB 2.5-inch SATA hard drive spins at 5400 rpm with an 8 MB cache. It is intended for users who need a large, power-efficient storage volume for everyday computing tasks.
Build Integration
The SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface connects directly to standard motherboard ports and requires only a SATA data and power cable. Its 4.5 W spin-up draw leaves more headroom for other components in compact or notebook chassis.
Sustained Operation
Ramp Load technology keeps the recording head off the media during transport and idle periods, reducing mechanical wear. Advanced servo techniques minimise acoustic output so the drive stays quiet during long read or write sessions.

Questions about this item
What is the maximum sustained rotational speed of the platters in the Toshiba MQ01ABD100?
The drive spins at a constant 5400 rpm, which defines the sustained data-rate ceiling for sequential workloads.
How much power does the Toshiba MQ01ABD100 draw during continuous operation?
Spin-up peaks at 4.5 watts and idle power is lower, so all-day running stays within a modest thermal envelope for a 2.5 inch SATA drive.
Which SATA host interface must the laptop or desktop provide for the MQ01ABD100 to function?
A SATA 6.0 Gb/s port (SATA III) is required; the drive will negotiate down to slower SATA speeds if the host only supports them.
