160GB 2.5" SATA hard drive

The Western Digital WD1600BJKT is a new 160GB 2.5-inch internal hard drive with a 7200RPM spindle speed and a SATA 3Gb/s interface. It includes a 16MB buffer and is built in a 3.5-inch product type form factor. The drive suits desktops or external enclosures that accept a 2.5-inch SATA device.

Suits legacy SATA upgrades.

This drive fits systems that require a 2.5-inch SATA 3Gb/s drive with modest capacity and 7200RPM performance. Buyers who need more storage or a faster 6Gb/s SATA interface should look at something else. The 160GB limit and 3Gb/s link make it unsuitable for modern primary storage workloads.

SATA 3Gb/s interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the SATA 3Gb/s interface. The host must provide a matching SATA port and physical space for a 2.5-inch drive. Without a compatible SATA 3Gb/s connection the drive cannot be used.

Questions about this item

How much noise and heat does the 7200 RPM WD1600BJKT produce when running continuously?

The 7200 RPM spindle generates typical mechanical drive noise and warmth; ensure your chassis has adequate airflow around the 2.5" bay.

What existing connector and bay does my system need for this 2.5" SATA 3Gb/s drive?

You need a free SATA data port, a SATA power lead, and a 2.5" drive bay or adapter bracket inside the case.

Will the 160 GB WD1600BJKT work alongside my older 3.5" SATA drives on the same controller?

Yes, it uses the same SATA 3Gb/s interface, so it can share a controller with legacy 3.5" SATA drives without compatibility issues.
