5400 RPM RPM 16MB Cache
SATA 3.0Gb/s

Seagate integrators and OEM customers are faced with an increasing demand for thinner yet fully functional mainstream laptop computing solutions. Until recently, the only option for these thinner solutions revolved around high-priced, slow performing 1.8-inch drives and high-priced, fast solid state drives. Because both storage types were costly options, system designers had no choice but to build thinner chassis only for their high-end lines. Enter Seagate ingenuity.

PCDR 3/10/2013 7:22:19 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great Drive Pros: I own a repair shop and we frequently replace drives in laptops that were badly designed and left the drive no room to breath. The reduced height on these provides the drive enough room and it performs well Cons: none Other Thoughts: I'm pretty much using these exclusively for repairs right now Did you find this review helpful?
