R&R'd the hard drive, stuck Linux on it while preserving the original dead Windows partition. Has worked like a champ for a couple months. One of these days I'll get around to mounting that dead Windows partition and poke around. My PS4 hard drive failed. I've also been watching SMART status on my HP replacement, it's not pretty. So I ordered 2 of these drives. Put one into my PS4, works like a champ. Still too chicken to R&R the hard drive in a (badly) working laptop, even though said laptop gets backed up every night. So, 2 out of 3 are 100% winners, and the third one is unknown due to my cowardice. Review: Works great but...... - Works great. Installed no problem but keep in mind it's a blank hard drive with no bootable device. I used a flash drive and my wife's computer to get around this and then once into the computer, I added windows 10 to the hard drive, went into the BIOS menu and set bootable device back to HD. ## Features - Capacity:1 TB - Width:70 mm - Height:9.5 mm - Buffer Size:8 MB - Interface:Serial ATA-300 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008YDNARU | | Additional Features | Backward Compatible | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,138 in Internal Hard Drives | | Brand | TOSHIBA | | Built-In Media | No components included | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 8 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Connectivity Technology | SATA | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 547 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 3 Gigabits Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 1 TB | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum, Glass | | Form Factor | 2.5-inch | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00013703706049, 05711045504617 | | Hard Disk Description | Mechanical Hard Disk | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | Serial ATA | | Hard Disk Rotational Speed | 5400 | | Hard-Drive Size | 1 TB | | Hardware Connectivity | SATA 3.0 Gb/s | | Hardware Platform | PC, laptop | | Installation Type | Internal Hard Drive | | Item Weight | 0.1 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Toshiba | | Mfr Part Number | MQ01ABD100 | | Model Name | MQ01ABDu00a0 | | Model Number | MQ01ABD100 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Read Speed | 3 Gigabytes Per Second | | Special Feature | Backward Compatible | | Specific Uses For Product | Gaming | | UPC | 132018245293 809385162637 168141461040 846830076002 191120075303 115970718333 610373468446 809185313284 013703706049 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** TOSHIBA - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop - **Connectivity Technology:** SATA - **Digital Storage Capacity:** 1 TB - **Hard Disk Description:** Mechanical Hard Disk - **Hard Disk Form Factor:** 2.5 Inches - **Hard Disk Interface:** Serial ATA - **Installation Type:** Internal Hard Drive - **Special Feature:** Backward Compatible ## Images ![Toshiba MQ01ABD100 1000 GB Internal - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51BFvq23INL.jpg) ![Toshiba MQ01ABD100 1000 GB Internal - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31Gl6xDr2fL.jpg) ![Toshiba MQ01ABD100 1000 GB Internal - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Jloa9i1mL.jpg) ![Toshiba MQ01ABD100 1000 GB Internal - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51KCKbLav-L.jpg) ![Toshiba MQ01ABD100 1000 GB Internal - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/615vdY+Al0L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this work in a satellite C685-S7101?** A: If the satellite c685-s7101 uses a 2.5 inch hard drive, this should work just fine. **Q: what is the warranty term?** A: I do not know. I ask the seller or manufacturer. But I assume it has a warranty from the manufacturer as long as it is new. **Q: Compatable for toshiba mq01abd100 scsi disk device?** A: Unsure as I believe scsi is dated technology now. **Q: Does this 2.5 inch hdd use conventional magnetic recording (cmr) or shingled (smr)? anyone replaced it with a larger 1.5-2 tb replacement that's cmr?** A: This one should be CMR. This is important if the drive is supposed to be used as a storage for video surveillance. These workloads make SMR drives barf badly when the drive becomes full and new video files have to overwrite old ones. The same workloads kill SSDs awfully fast, because drive is always full and constantly overwrites existing blocks. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Both product and vendor *by S***E on July 14, 2021* A couple months ago I decided to resurrect an old HP laptop that had a hard drive failure.
