HGST Travelstar 7K1000 1TB 7200 RPM SATA Drive

The HGST Travelstar 7K1000 is a 2.5-inch internal hard drive built for laptop upgrades and portable storage. It delivers 1TB capacity on a single 500GB platter spinning at 7200 RPM with a 32MB cache. The SATA 6.0Gb/s interface provides standard connectivity for compatible notebooks.

Suits standard 9.5mm laptop bays.

This drive fits standard 2.5-inch laptop bays with a 9.5mm height allowance. It suits users who want faster 7200 RPM performance and 1TB capacity in a standard form factor. It is not for ultra-thin notebooks or devices limited to the slimmer 7mm drive height, nor for systems requiring solid-state speed or silent operation.

9.5mm height decides physical compatibility

The critical specification is the 9.5mm z-height, which determines whether the drive fits your laptop bay. The 7200 RPM spindle speed and 12ms average seek time define its performance profile, while the 32MB cache supports multitasking workloads. Verify your system accepts a 9.5mm 2.5-inch SATA drive before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does my laptop need a 2.5 inch 9.5mm drive bay and a SATA 6.0Gb/s port to install this HGST Travelstar 7K1000?

Yes, the drive uses the 2.5 inch form factor with a 9.5mm height and connects through a standard SATA 6.0Gb/s interface.

Will this 7200 RPM drive work in an older laptop that only supports SATA 3.0Gb/s?

The SATA 6.0Gb/s interface is backward compatible, so the drive will operate at the slower 3.0Gb/s speed on older controllers.

How can I verify the drive is running at its full 7200 RPM speed after installation?

Use a system information tool or the drive's SMART data to confirm the rotational speed is reported as 7200 RPM.
