HGST CinemaStar 5K1000 laptop drive

The HGST CinemaStar 5K1000 HCC541010A9E630 is a 2.5" internal hard drive built for laptop storage upgrades. It spins at 5400 RPM with a 32MB cache and connects through a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. The drive is supplied new and packing may vary between retail or OEM.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This drive suits owners of laptops or external enclosures that accept a 2.5" SATA drive and need extra capacity for media libraries or backups. Buyers who require the faster access times of an SSD or who need a 3.5" desktop form factor should consider a different product.

The specification that decides fit

The SATA 6.0Gb/s interface is the single specification that determines whether this drive will work in your system; the host must provide a matching SATA data and power connection for the 2.5" form factor.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.5" kit include and do I need a separate bracket or cable?

The drive is a bare 2.5" SATA unit; the listing notes that retail or OEM packing may vary, so no mounting bracket or SATA cable is guaranteed in the box.

How do I choose between the CinemaStar 5K1000 HCC541010A9E630 and other capacities in the series?

This model is the 1000 GB variant; other CinemaStar 5K1000 drives carry different model numbers and cache sizes, so match the HCC541010A9E630 part code to get the 32 MB cache version.

What does the 5400 RPM rating mean for video playback in a laptop?

The 5400 RPM spindle and 32 MB cache deliver steady sequential throughput for multi-stream HD recording and playback without the heat or power draw of faster spindles.
