80 GB SATA 1.5Gb/s laptop drive

This Seagate Momentus 7200.1 ST980825AS is a 2.5 inch internal hard drive built for notebook computers. It spins at 7200 RPM with an 8 MB cache and connects through a SATA 1.5 Gb/s interface. The 9.5 mm height fits most standard laptop drive bays. Condition is new.

Suits older notebooks needing mechanical storage

Builders repairing legacy laptops that require a SATA 1.5 Gb/s 2.5 inch drive will find this part a direct match. Buyers who want more storage capacity or a faster interface should look at something else. The 7200 RPM spindle and 4.2 ms average latency serve everyday productivity workloads.

SATA 1.5Gb/s interface decides compatibility

The single specification that decides fit is the SATA 1.5 Gb/s interface combined with the 2.5 inch 9.5 mm form factor. Only systems designed for that exact interface and physical size will accept the drive. Verify the host connector and bay height before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 9.5mm height of this 2.5" drive fit my laptop bay?

The drive measures 9.5mm tall, which matches the standard 2.5" laptop bay height used in most notebooks.

Does the SATA 1.5Gb/s interface need a jumper or driver to work?

No jumper is required; the SATA 1.5Gb/s connection is plug-and-play and the NCQ feature activates automatically when the host controller supports it.

What part wears out first on a 7200 RPM FDB motor drive?

The Fluid Dynamic Bearing motor is rated for long life, but the mechanical actuator and platters remain the components most likely to need replacement after years of use.
