THE 5K1500

I look forward to the day that we will get a 2.5" HDD sample in retail packaging until then however the normal static-free bag will do.

Although the 5K1500 has three plates/disks inside still it's just 9.5mm thick like the 7K1000.

The model name, part number, serial number, barcodes, capacity, connectivity, speed, electrical specifications, factory roll out date and much more can be seen on the large sticker ontop of the drive.

Standard procedure dictates that all of the components are placed on the interior of the PCB for increased protection.

The usual power and data SATA ports are present at the rear.

I thought it would be nice to put the 7K1000 right next to the 5K1500 so all of you can see that they are exactly the same in thickness although the second has 3 plates/disks.
