- Key Specs
- Storage Capacity: 2000 gigabytes (Measured in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB), this is the amount available for storing files, music, movies, photos and more. The total includes the capacity of the hard disk drive and solid state drive if both are included on the computer.)
- Storage Drive Type: HDD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Rotational Speed: 5400 revolutions per minute (The rate at which the hard drive spins its platters. The higher the rotational speed, the faster the drive can read and write data.)
- Maximum Read Speed: 147 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can read information; for example, opening files.)
- Maximum Write Speed: 147 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can write information; for example, saving files.)
- Form Factor: 3.5 in.
- Interface(s): SATA (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

Q: Will this internal hard drive work with Windows XP?
A: I am a Windows "old timer". I have been slowly upgrading my versions only because a certain Tax software forces me to upgrade in order to work. My current Windows is 7 PRO 64 bit. The whole world keeps telling me to move up to Windows 10 because 7 is dead. I HATE 10. The reason I bought the hard drive was to partition it to handle both the 7pro and the 10. Was told it couldn't be done, no way no how. That was all I needed to hear. Right now I am the proud owner of a 2TB hard drive that defaults to W 7 and allows me to click to W10 when I am forced to do my taxes. The 2TB gives me all the room I will need for years to come. If I can put 7 PRO on it you should be able to put XP on it. I hated leaving XP Pro behind but the programs demanded the upgrade to 7. It is still my favorite version even though there is no longer any Windows support for it. Just take note of the cable connection. If you are still using the old version of Windows chances are your PC is older and the hard drive has the same footprint as the older ones, but the cable is different.
