Compact 80 GB IDE drive for legacy laptops

The Fujitsu MHW2080AT is a new 2.5 inch internal hard drive with 80 GB capacity and a 4200 RPM spindle. It uses the IDE Ultra ATA100 interface and includes an 8 MB cache. This drive suits owners of older notebooks or consumer-electronics devices that still require a parallel ATA storage device.

Fits 9.5 mm drive bays

The unit measures 100 mm long, 69 mm wide and 9.5 mm high, matching the common laptop drive envelope. It connects directly to a 44-pin IDE connector and draws power from the same ribbon, so no extra cables or adapters are needed. The bare-drive packaging leaves installation hardware to the builder.

Steady throughput with low acoustic output

Average seek time is 12 ms, average write time is 14 ms and average latency is 7.14 ms. The 4200 RPM rotation keeps noise at a best-in-class low level while maintaining consistent data rates during long copy or backup sessions. Low power consumption helps reduce heat in enclosed chassis.

Questions about this item

What sustained-use limit appears first with the 4200 RPM spindle speed?

The 4200 RPM spindle speed caps sustained throughput before cache or seek time become bottlenecks.

How much heat and noise does the 2.5" 9.5 mm high drive produce when running all day?

Low acoustic noise is best-in-class and power consumption is low, so heat and noise stay minimal during continuous operation.

Which IDE Ultra ATA100 host interface must the laptop already provide for this 80 GB drive to work?

The notebook needs an IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 connector that accepts a 2.5" 9.5 mm high drive.
