Who it suits

The drive suits desktops and laptops that accept a 2.5 inch 7mm SATA device. It is backward compatible with SATA II 3Gb/s and SATA I 1.5Gb/s ports. Systems without a 2.5 inch SATA bay or systems requiring a PCIe interface should consider a different form factor.

Deciding specification

The SATA III 6Gb/s interface is the single specification that determines whether this drive fits your system. Verify that your motherboard or laptop provides a 2.5 inch SATA connector before purchasing.
