60 GB IDE Laptop Drive

The Toshiba MK6021GAS is a 2.5 inch internal hard drive with a 60 GB capacity, 4200 RPM spindle speed and a 2 MB cache. It uses an IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 interface with a 44 pin connector and a 9.5 mm height profile. The drive is supplied as a bare unit in new condition.

Suits legacy notebook repairs

This drive fits older laptops that require a 44 pin IDE connection and a 9.5 mm high 2.5 inch form factor. It is not suitable for systems that need a Serial ATA interface, faster spindle speeds, larger cache or capacities above 60 GB. Buyers restoring vintage machines or replacing a failed original drive in compatible hardware will find it appropriate.

IDE Ultra ATA100 interface

The single specification that decides compatibility is the IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 interface with a 44 pin connector. Only systems designed for this parallel ATA standard can use the drive.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 60GB model for an older laptop?

The 60GB capacity suits legacy notebooks that use 2.5-inch IDE drives and need period-correct storage space.

What does the 100MB/sec transfer rate mean in daily use?

The 100MB/sec figure is the interface burst ceiling; sustained throughput will be lower due to the 4200 RPM spindle and 2MB cache.

Will the IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 interface work with my 44-pin laptop connector?

Yes, the drive uses a standard 44-pin IDE connector that matches the Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 specification for 2.5-inch bays.
