The Toshiba MQ01ABD100V is a 1TB mechanical hard drive for laptops and small systems. It spins at 5400 RPM with an 8MB cache over a SATA 3Gb/s interface and is 9.5mm tall, so it fits most notebooks and enclosures that take a standard 2.5-inch drive. It is built for bulk storage, not speed: a SATA SSD boots and loads far faster, but this drive holds far more for the same outlay and suits DVR, NVR and video-recording boxes that need cheap capacity. Owners of this class of drive generally report quiet running and dependable service, with the usual caveat that mechanical drives are slower and more fragile than flash.
