What this drive is

The Toshiba MK6026GAX is a new 60 GB 2.5-inch laptop hard drive with an IDE Ultra ATA100 interface, 5400 RPM spindle speed and 16 MB cache. It uses a 44-pin connector and a 9.5 mm slim-line profile for direct replacement in compatible notebooks.

Who this suits and who it does not

This drive suits owners of legacy laptops that require an IDE Ultra ATA100 connection and a 9.5 mm form factor. Buyers whose systems need a Serial ATA interface, a higher capacity than 60 GB, or a spindle speed above 5400 RPM cannot use this model.

The deciding specification

The IDE Ultra ATA100 interface is the single specification that determines compatibility; the drive will only function in notebooks equipped with a matching 44-pin IDE controller.

Questions about this item

What does IDE Ultra ATA100 mean for data transfer?

Will this 2.5 inch drive fit a standard laptop bay?

Yes, the 2.5 inch form factor at 9.5 mm height with a 44-pin IDE connector matches the standard slimline notebook bay used in many older laptops.
