1TB 2.5-inch SATA 7200 RPM

This HGST Travelstar 7K1000 is a 1TB 2.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM with a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and 32MB cache. It is built for daily computing workloads in a 9.5mm height form factor. The bare drive suits users upgrading a compatible laptop or compact desktop bay.

Suits laptops needing 9.5mm 7200 RPM

This drive fits notebooks and small-form-factor desktops that accept a 9.5mm-high 2.5-inch SATA drive and benefit from 7200 RPM speeds. It does not suit buyers who need a different physical height for their specific chassis. Users wanting solid-state speed or silent operation should look at other storage types.

SATA 6.0Gb/s interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface paired with the 9.5mm 2.5-inch form factor. The host system must provide a standard SATA data and power connection and a drive bay that accepts the 9.5mm height. Without that exact interface and clearance the drive cannot be installed.

Questions about this item

What does the 7200 RPM spindle speed mean for everyday use?

The 7200 RPM speed provides quicker data access and shorter latency than slower mobile drives, improving responsiveness when opening files or launching applications.

How does the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface limit real-world transfer rates?

The SATA 6.0Gb/s interface caps the maximum burst throughput at 6.0 Gb/s, so sustained read and write speeds will be limited by the drive's mechanical performance rather than the link.

Will the 9.5mm height fit my laptop's 2.5-inch bay?

The drive measures 9.5mm tall, 70.00mm wide and 100.00mm long, matching the standard 2.5-inch form factor used in most notebooks and drive caddies.
