Product Information

The Toshiba MK2533GSG HDD is a serial-ATA hard drive intended to upgrade or complete a system compatible with 1.8-form factor drives. Toshiba MK2533GSG drives have an impressive 250GB of storage space. They spin at a speed of 5400RPM, which is still the standard for many modern hard drive types. The Toshiba MK2533GSG could make an acceptable primary or secondary drive for many PCs. Its relatively large cache size determines the speed at which data is written to it. The Toshiba MK2533GSG is compatible with laptops, such as the Lenovo/IBM Thinkpad X300, Thinkpad X301, Thinkpad T400S, and Thinkpad T410S. It is also compatible with the HP Elitebook 2740p/2730p/2530p/2540p, the Fujitsu P1630, and the Sony Envy 13t series. It can also be installed into the Dell XT1 or XT2. The Toshiba MK2533GSG HDD is intended as an internal hard drive. It can handle the storage functions of a system that takes 1.8-inch drives. The Toshiba MK2533GSG is a 5400rpm drive with a 16MB cache. This cache supports both write and read-ahead drive functions. It is a SATA-300 HDD that can transfer data at up to 3Gb per second. It has an average latency of 5.6 milliseconds, and takes about 15 milliseconds to find the data the system is looking for. It has a track-to-track seek time of three milliseconds, thanks to its magnetic recording abilities. The Toshiba MK2533GSG has 512 bytes per sector and a capacity of 250GB, which is enough for hundreds or even thousands of files. It comes with Toshiba’s reputation for drive robustness and reliability. The Toshiba MK2533GSG HDD has in-built shock-sensing technology, to manage impacts that may result in data loss or corruption. The Toshiba MK2533GSG hard drive is also designed to withstand up to 1.5kg or the equivalent in terms of shock, if the drive is powered off. It is rated at 600,000 hours in terms of mean times between failure, and up to 20,000 hours of life (when powered). The Toshiba MK2533GSG HDD is also light and compact, weighing just 2.2 ounces. The Toshiba MK2533GSG is also designed to be an energy-efficient drive. Toshiba claims that it can use as much as 25 percent less power compared to 2.5-inch drives with similar specifications. The Toshiba MK2533GSG also consumes power at a maximum of 25W (with a read, write, and seek average of 1.3W). The Toshiba MK2533GSG hard drive is a good option for consumers who need to replace the HDD in a laptop that takes 1.8-inch SATA disk drives (also known as microSATA drives). It has an interface that can transfer data at speeds of up to 3Gb/s. The Toshiba MK2533GSG is a durable and robust internal hard drive that can protect data from degradation as a result of shocks or accidents. With its 250GB storage capacity, it can deliver a sizeable upgrade for many laptops or netbooks. The Toshiba MK2533GSG is compatible with most 1.8-inch hard drive bays, but may require an adapter for the connectors found in some laptop types (e.g., HP). It is also compatible with the Windows OS, up to Windows 7.
