“Replacing hard drive in HP EliteBook 850 G2. Specs indicate it supports 2.5 inch in 9.5 mm and 7.0 mm thicknesses. Also states supports 1TB 7200 rpm 9.5 mm hard drive. This hard drive seems to meet the specs other than it is 5900 rpm. Will this work?”

It SHOULD. Emphasis on SHOULD. The specs listed are for the previous drive but not this one. The only difference being the rotational speed which WILL alter your read/write speeds and things may seem an insignicantly small amount slower due to that slower RPM of the disk.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You should not have any problems with this hard drive as far as fitment and performance. 7200 rpm hard drives are a bit faster with data transfer but, 5200 was always the industry standard. Seagate went beyond with the 5900 rpm series.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Traditional SATA hard drives typically run at 7200rmp or 5400 rpm. The form factor (2.5" / 9.5mm) is the same, and the interface (SATA) is the same. It will work. If you can find a good deal on an SSD, though, I'd suggest that route. If you are looking to RPM speed as an indicator of performance, an SSD could rough be equivalent to a 60,000rpm hard drive. (Not really a product, but you get an almost tenfold performance improvement.) If price and budget is the main goal, go with the 5400rpm drive. It will work fine.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This drive should be listed as a 5400 rpm, It would just be a bit slower than a 7200 rpm , If you are not into advanced Gaming, this should work , as long as it states it is a 2.5 inch - look at the connector , it should look like the one from the HD you are replacing
