Review: good drive, no problems - I wanted a HDD for external storage ( they can keep data a long time without power on them, unlike SSD when 12 months without power and data will fade away ). I fitted this into a Β£7 USB 3 case ( it is 9mm thick so be careful ) and use it for backups and storage of important info, then unplug from PC ( air gap it ) most of the time. 12 months no problem so far, being USB 3 it is fast enough for most things Review: Hello Tosh got a Toshiba - Perfect ## Features - Capacity: 1 TB - 8MB Buffer, SATA 3.0Gbps Interface, 2.5" Laptop Hard Drive - 9.5 mm high, 5400 rpm rotation speed - Works with any brand of SATA interface for laptop, MacBook, Notebook, USB enclosure, etc - 1 year warranty from the dealer ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07NGTZWWZ | | Best Sellers Rank | 7,447 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 19 in Internal Hard Drives | | Box Contents | SATA hard drive and (optional) USB case | | Brand | Toshiba | | Brand Name | Toshiba | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 8 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop, Desktop | | Connectivity technology | SATA | | Country of Origin | United Kingdom | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 1,712 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 3 Gigabytes Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 1000 GB | | Digital storage capacity | 1000 GB | | Enclosure Material | Aluminium | | Form Factor | 2.5-inch | | Global Trade Identification Number | 08733559555135 | | Hard Disk Description | Mechanical hard drive, 2.5", 5400rpm, 8MB cache, 1TB capacity | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | Serial ATA-300 | | Hard Disk Rotational Speed | 5400 RPM | | Hard disk form factor | 3.5 Inches | | Hard disk interface | Serial ATA-300 | | Hard-Drive Size | 1 TB | | Hardware Connectivity | SATA 3.0 Gb/s | | Hardware Platform | Mac, PC, laptop | | Installation Type | Internal Hard Drive | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 10L x 7W x 0.9Th centimetres | | Manufacturer | Toshiba | | Manufacturer Part Number | MQ01ABD100V | | Media Speed | 50-100 MB/s | | Model Name | MQ01ABD100 | | Model Number | MQ01ABD100V | | Network Connectivity Technology | SATA | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Features | Portable | | Product Warranty | 1 year | | Read Speed | 3 Gigabytes Per Second | | Special feature | Portable | | Specific Uses For Product | storage | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Toshiba - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible devices:** Laptop, Desktop - **Connectivity technology:** SATA - **Digital storage capacity:** 1000 GB - **Hard disk description:** Mechanical hard drive, 2.5", 5400rpm, 8MB cache, 1TB capacity - **Hard disk form factor:** 3.5 Inches - **Hard disk interface:** Serial ATA-300 - **Installation type:** Internal Hard Drive - **Special feature:** Portable ## Images ![1TB 5400RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 2.5 inch Notebook Hard Drive (MQ01ABD100V) - 1 Year Warranty,Usb - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Ld+N-dNtL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Where can I get windows 10 drivers for this drive ?** A: Because the drive does not come with an OS, you need to install it. Here's what you need: a blank flash drive of at least 8gb and a spare laptop. All you have to do is download Microsoft Windows 10 creation media from their website onto the flash drive (it'll ask where you want it to be downloaded to) - once that's done, insert the flash drive into the computer with the new hard drive and it'll take it from there. **Q: Is this compatible with the Dell G3 15 gaming laptop?** A: Yes you can use it as a external hard drive by getting a cord for it but as far as putting into a laptop no it's to big .i use a hard-drive dock which makes using any hard drive easy .just make sure you format the hard drive most of them comes unformatted. **Q: Does this drive have start up installed?** A: Well I'm not sure what you're asking if you're using it for storage you controlled it by opening my computer where you see your drive c and d you should see the new hard drive you can use it to save things to it. If you're replacing your computer s hard drive you will have to install a Windows operating system to it a new hard drive is basically empty when you get it. **Q: Does it work for HP Envy 17-j165eo laptop?** A: Probably, I used it in a HP Pavilion dv7. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ good drive, no problems *by C***H on 25 August 2026* I wanted a HDD for external storage ( they can keep data a long time without power on them, unlike SSD when 12 months without power and data will fade away ).
