300 GB 10 000 RPM laptop drive

This 300 GB internal hard drive spins at 10 000 RPM in a 2.5 inch form factor. It is built for laptops and compatible 2.5 inch bays that accept SATA or SAS drives. The capacity and speed suit workloads that need quicker random access than standard 7 200 RPM drives. Buyers who want more storage capacity will need a different drive.

2.5 inch SATA or SAS interface

The drive fits the common 2.5 inch laptop bay and connects through a SATA or SAS interface depending on the specific unit. Retail or OEM packing may vary so the exact connector style can differ between shipments. No mounting hardware or cables are mentioned in the supplied data. Builders who need a second drive bay or a different physical size cannot use this unit alone.

Upgrade from 7 200 RPM laptop drives

Moving from a 7 200 RPM laptop drive to this 10 000 RPM model raises spindle speed for faster seek and transfer performance. The jump is worth it when the system supports SATA or SAS 6 Gbps and the workload benefits from lower latency. It does not replace 15 000 RPM drives or 3.5 inch desktop drives where higher throughput is required.
