Can this 1.8", 5400RPM HDD be switched out for a 2.5", 7200 RPM hard disk? Can this 1.8", 5400RPM HDD be switched out for a 2.5", 7200 RPM hard disk?

They are different interfaces, sizes and require different power voltage. You can fit a 1.8" unit in a 2.5" bay with a converter but cannot do the reverse. The Samsung doesn't have the room for it anyway. You can get a 1.8" Samsung from SSD from our favorite egg-selent retailer for $175 though!

Spins at 5400 RPM, that is whats keeping me from buying this drive. Good for laptop, but not desktop.120 GB SSD = $75.00, 1TB 7200 RPM HDD = $59.00, you do the math.

If you are trying to use this as an internal HDD, you might want to double check on the size there. That's a 3.5" HDD commonly used in desktops; unless you were planning on using this drive in an external HDD rig I would suggest you look into the 2.5" HDDs. *Suggestion: go with &lt;Western Digital Bare Drives 2.5 Inch, Low Profile, 5400 RPM, SATA II, 8MB Cache 500GB Mobile Hard Drive, Blue WD5000LPVT&gt; it's only $3 more ($43.99) than that desktop HDD for double the capacity.

Given that there are conflicting answers to this question on Amazon, and I really wanted to know before purchasing a drive, I contacted Seagate. Here's their response: " Unfortunately, part of the information is not provided at all. The RPM of our Expansion drives are not a provided specification, meaning the unit can run from 5400 RPMs to 7200 RPMs. We have no way to know which is it. It is not a guaranteed specification." So, it's a crap shoot. And it matters.

This external hard drive contains a SATA-2 5400 rpm hard drive with a 8mb buffer.I would tell you the model number but it gets deleted when I post it.I would tell you how I know for sure but that gets deleted also.So in other words you just need to use your noodle and seek out the info you need; there are ways but this will probably get deleted to so what's the point in all of this?PS I Bought this thing and I have hands on experience with it!

Yes and no, I have two of them (2TB and 4TB), the 2TB is 7200 but the 4TB is 5900. It appears all of them are 7200 except for the 4TB.The models of the actual (internal) drives are ST2000DM001 and ST4000DM000. In case you want to google some more.

From everything that I read, you are correct. 1TB 7200 RPM HDD with 2*256 SSD.

Yes we can upgrade the current HDD to 1 TB hard drive, we are an authorized Panasonic reseller with techs on staff to work on Tough Books. Thanks,

Just checked one of mine (using a great tool called "Crystal Disk Info". Great Tool, just choose "Custom install" {not express} and opt out of anything else, it's just bogus ads)So the speed says 5400RPM and it says 8Meg of flash (RAM). The actual internal hard drive is: wd10jmvw-11ajgs1 Look it up for more specs on the drive inside. Enjoy!

If it was it'd cost thousands of dollars. No, it's a 5400rpm drive. But more than adequate if you don't need super fast.

I believe the drive I installed in it was 1TB. Actually, as long as it's a 2.5 inch drive, the capacity, I believe, is irrelevant.

No, it has a 5400 rpm drive. Really slows down otherwise great performance.

Yes, this is a hard drive. This is physically 2 and a half inches long. It is to go inside a laptop. The disk spins at 5400 revolutions per minute. There are some that spin at 7200 PRM. They will be a little faster, but cost a little more. 1TB is the memory size. It will hold a terabyte of data. That's about 1000 gigabytes. Depending what you need, a smaller drive of 500 GB or 750 GB but spinning at 7200 RPM may be a better choice for about the same price. But the one you selected should work fine in most laptops. You might want to do a Google search for your particular laptop to see what size the hard drive is. Most likely it is 2.5 inches. If so this one would be fine. Good luck. I don't know why they say "kit". It is just a hard drive.

No. It is a 72200 RPM external drive. To my knowledge it is still prohibitively expensive to buy a 1TB solid state and I don't even know if 3TB SSDs are available in the consumer market.
