Slim laptop drive for storage upgrades

The Seagate Momentus Thin ST500LT015 is a 2.5-inch internal hard drive built for notebooks and other space-constrained systems. It delivers 500GB of capacity on a single platter inside a 7mm z-height enclosure. The SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and 16MB cache provide straightforward integration into existing laptops, external enclosures or compact desktops.

Suits thin-and-light notebooks.

This drive fits ultra-portable laptops and small-form-factor devices that require the 7mm height. Buyers who need faster access times or higher sustained throughput should consider solid-state alternatives. Systems limited to the older SATA 3.0Gb/s standard will operate at the lower link speed.

7mm z-height decides fit

The 7mm thickness is the single specification that determines whether this drive installs without modification. Measure the drive bay or consult the service manual before purchase; chassis designed only for thinner or taller form factors will not accept this unit.

Questions about this item

The 5400 RPM spindle and 7 mm slim design keep power use low, so typical laptop cooling handles the heat without extra fan noise.

Yes, the drive fits a standard 2.5-inch 7 mm bay and connects through a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface.
