Toshiba 1 TB 2.5" SATA hard drive

The Toshiba MQ04ABF100 is a 1 TB internal hard drive built in a 2.5 inch form factor. It spins at 5400 RPM and uses a SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface with 128 MB of cache. The drive is supplied new in OEM bulk packaging for system integrators and direct upgrades.

Suits laptops and slim desktops.

This drive fits ultra-thin laptops, standard notebooks and slimline all-in-one desktops that accept a 2.5 inch SATA device. Its low power draw helps battery life in portable systems. Builders who need faster random access or sustained throughput should look at solid-state alternatives instead.

SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface decides host compatibility

The single specification that determines whether this is the right part is the SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface. The host must provide a matching SATA data and power connection for the drive to function.

Questions about this item

Will the 7 mm height fit my ultra-thin laptop's 2.5" bay?

Yes, the 7 mm profile matches the standard slim 2.5" slot used in ultra-portables and all-in-one desktops.

What is the correct SATA orientation when sliding the drive into a caddy?

Align the SATA data and power connectors toward the motherboard side; forcing the drive upside-down bends the fragile connector pins.

How often should I check the 128 MB cache health on this 5400 RPM drive?

The cache is internal and maintenance-free; run a SMART scan once a year to monitor overall drive health instead.
