Fits standard 2.5" SATA bays

The 2.5" form factor and SATA 3.0Gb/s connector let it slot directly into most laptop drive bays or a compatible USB 2.5" SATA external enclosure. No additional adapters or cabling are required beyond the host system's native SATA data and power connections.

Steady throughput for sustained workloads

The 5400 RPM rotation rate and 8MB buffer provide consistent read and write performance during extended file transfers or background operations. Data Lifeguard and Shock Guard features help maintain data integrity when the drive remains active for long periods.
