160 GB 2.5" SATA 1.5Gb/s Laptop Drive

This Fujitsu MHW2160BH is a 160 GB internal hard drive built for 2.5-inch laptop bays. It spins at 5400 RPM with an 8 MB cache and connects through a SATA 1.5Gb/s interface. The bare-drive unit uses perpendicular magnetic recording technology.

Suits older notebooks and legacy upgrades

It fits machines that accept a 2.5-inch SATA drive running at 1.5Gb/s with 5400 RPM spindle speed. Not for systems that require a higher transfer rate than 1.5Gb/s. Buyers who need more capacity than 160 GB should look at a larger drive.

SATA 1.5Gb/s interface speed decides compatibility

The drive operates at the original SATA 1.5Gb/s signalling rate. Average seek time is 12 ms, average write time is 14 ms and average latency is 5.56 ms. Verify that the host controller supports this revision before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does my laptop need a SATA 1.5Gb/s port and a 2.5" drive bay for this MHW2160BH?

Yes. The drive connects through a SATA 1.5Gb/s interface and fits a standard 2.5" internal bay.

Will this 5400 RPM SATA drive work in a system that only has SATA 1.5Gb/s ports?

The MHW2160BH is a native SATA 1.5Gb/s device, so it runs at full speed on those ports without negotiation issues.

How can I confirm the 160GB drive is healthy after installation?

Check that the BIOS reports 160GB capacity, then run a SMART self-test and verify the seek time is near 12ms.
