  • 7200 RPM spindle delivers desktop-like speed for notebook PCs
  • 80 GB capacity provides ample space for applications and files

What this drive is and who it suits

The HGST Travelstar 7K100 is an 80 GB 2.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM with a SATA interface and an 8 MB buffer. It is built for notebook PCs and other compact devices that accept a 2.5-inch SATA drive and benefit from the higher spindle speed. The Enhanced ABLE power management helps reduce power consumption in battery-powered systems. Condition is new.

Who should consider it and who should not

This drive suits owners of older laptops or small-form-factor desktops needing a direct SATA replacement with 7200 RPM performance. It is not for systems that require larger capacities, newer interface standards, or solid-state storage. Buyers looking for higher throughput or lower latency than a mechanical drive provides should look at alternative technologies.

Deciding specification

The 7200 RPM spindle speed is the single figure that determines whether this drive matches the performance requirement of the target system. If the original drive ran at 7200 RPM, this unit restores that level; if the system expects a different speed, verify compatibility before purchase.
