Overview
This is a 160GB 2.5" HDD on the SATA interface. Sequential throughput tops out at 550 MB/s reads and 520 MB/s writes, backed by 8MB of cache. SATA throughput caps near 550 MB/s — fine for game libraries and backups, slower for heavy scratch work. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest drive deals from multiple stores.
Support and warranty service run through Samsung, with terms that vary by region. Every published spec is tabulated below, and compatibility against your current part list is checked automatically. If this drive is not quite the right fit, the category page lists close alternatives at similar prices for a quick side-by-side comparison.
