SKU CH-FQCF-KGK2G

A 320 GB 2.5 inch SATA internal hard drive spinning at 5400 RPM with 8 MB cache

  • 320 GB capacity stores documents and media
  • 5400 RPM spindle balances speed and power draw
  • 8 MB cache accelerates frequent data access
  • SATA 6 Gb/s interface fits standard laptop bays
  • 7 mm slim profile suits thin notebooks and enclosures

Capacity and interface

This is a 320GB 2.5 inch SATA hard drive spinning at 5400RPM with an 8MB cache. It suits laptop upgrades, external enclosures or compact desktops that need affordable bulk storage. The 7mm height fits most standard drive bays. Buyers who want more storage or faster access times should look at larger-capacity or solid-state alternatives.

Thermals and power

A 5400RPM spindle keeps heat output and power draw low during normal operation. The drive runs quietly enough for noise-sensitive environments such as living-room PCs or office laptops. No active cooling is required beyond the airflow already present in a typical chassis.

Upgrade context

The drive replaces a failed or smaller mechanical drive in a SATA-equipped system. The jump is worth it when the existing drive has insufficient capacity or has developed errors. It does not address the speed gap between mechanical and solid-state storage.

Questions about this item

How do I install this 2.5" SATA drive in a 3.5" desktop bay?

Mount the 7 mm drive in a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter bracket, then secure it with the four bottom screw holes before connecting the SATA data and power cables.

What maintenance or replacement will this 320 GB 5400 RPM drive need later?

No routine maintenance is required; replace the drive if SMART attributes report reallocated sectors or if the motor develops audible bearing noise.

What limit appears first during sustained writes on this 8 MB cache SATA drive?

The 5400 RPM platters and 8 MB buffer cap sequential throughput, so sustained transfers settle at the drive's native media rate rather than the 6 Gb/s interface ceiling.
