Toshiba MK1216GSG MK1216GSG

The Toshiba MK1216GSG is a 1.8" hard drive with a capacity of 120 GB. We first tested the 5400 RPM drive in 2009 and found the performance to be average.

The MK1216GSG relies on the not-so-modern SATA bus (peak throughput: 150 MB/s).

Notebookcheck says:

... has a total gross capacity of 120 GB and runs with 5400 rounds per minute. The access time is 18.1 ms and the average transfer rate only a moderate 29.3 MB/second - Samsung NP-X360 Laptop Review, 2009

... delivers average scores in the HDTune benchmark test | HP's so-called 3D Driveguard technology combines an accelerometer, which detects sudden movements and parks the hard drive, with a particularly cushioned and impact-resistant hard drive mounting - HP Elitebook 2530p Laptop Review, 2009
