Refurbished HGST 500GB 7200 Laptop HDD (HTS725050A7E630)

Harness the power of a high-speed hard drive without sacrificing battery life or storage capacity. The HGST Travelstar Z7K500 500GB 2.5-inch mm mobile hard drive offers best-in-class shock resistance and power management capabilities. The small form factor makes the HTS725050A7E630 perfect for any machine with a Serial ATA caddy. Since the SATA interface is cross-platform, you can use it in notebook, desktop, or even nettop computers.Despite its small size, it can allocate the entire 500GB capacity to a single partition. The Z7K500 hard disk functions just like a full-sized drive. Spinning at 7200 RPM, the HGST Z7K500 allows the user to access stored information quickly with minimal lag time. This helps to cut down on freezing while offering the same performance numbers of physically larger HDDs. This also makes it ideal for multitasking, since the high RPM rate gives users the ability to create a large swap file. The 7200 RPM platter spin speed is an actual measurement rather than an average speed. Since the rotational speed of the platters in the HTS725050A7E630 is constant, it also helps to cut down on write errors.The 7mm single-disk design makes the HTS725050A7E630 Travelstar compatible with slim devices. It can serve as a drop-in replacement for a Hitachi or Western Digital drive that matches the same design.
