Questions about this item

How much power does the 7200 rpm drive draw when running all day in a laptop?

The 2.5" SATA drive spins at 7200 rpm with a 32 MB buffer; typical idle power is low, but sustained write workloads will increase consumption.

Does my system need a SATA/600 port and a 2.5" bay to install this drive?

Yes — the drive uses a standard SATA interface and the 2.5" form factor, so a SATA/600 connector and a compatible drive bay or caddy are required.

Will this 250 GB SATA drive work alongside an older IDE drive in the same machine?

The drive connects via SATA only; it can coexist with an IDE drive if the motherboard or controller provides both SATA and IDE ports, but it cannot share an IDE cable.
