Product description
Product Description
Using 500GB-per-platter technology, the MQ01ABD series is a 2.5-inch, 5,400 RPM hard disk drive line featuring up to 1TB of capacity for mainstream applications requiring power-efficiency and reliability from their storage solution.
∙ Up to 1,000GB* of Storage Capacity
∙ 5,400 RPM Rotational Speed
∙ Advanced Format 512e
∙ Eco-conscious Design
∙ MTTF of 600,000 Hours
Toshiba Storage Device Division offers a line of 5,400 RPM 2.5-inch HDDs in a new slim design optimized for industry-leading storage applications. The latest HDD series, MQ01ABD050, provides a wide capacity range from 250 GB to 1TB in a 9.5-millimeter-high design with only maximum 2 platters.
The advanced MQ01ABD050 targets markets such as portable multimedia and gaming notebooks, mobile workstations and other capacity-hungry applications like external HDDs. In addition, the drives also feature very good power efficiency value of 0.00055 for the 1TB model. Due to the "Silent-Seek" technology featured in these drives, the HDDs are extremely quiet: Ultra-silent single-platter drives boast acoustic specifications of 19dBA (seek) and 17dBA (idle) making them almost indistinguishable to the human hear.
With its compact size and best-in class specifications, the SATA MQ01ABD050 series is the perfect choice for use in devices where a combination of sleek form factor and high capacity capabilities are essential.
As with all Toshiba HDDs, the complete series is halogen-free and RoHS compatible, therefore, exceptionally environmentally friendly.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 November 2024Capacity: 500GBStyle Name: 9.5mmVerified PurchaseBought this compatible hard drive for our Freesat box. It arrived very quickly, was very easy to install (see youtube demonstration). Freesat box now works perfectly! So glad we didn't opt for buying a new box. Best buy ever.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 October 2024Capacity: 320GBStyle Name: 9.5mmVerified PurchaseI bought this to put in an old laptop so I can sell it, these days I would go for an SSD for the speed but I wanted something cheap just to get my old laptop into a working state and this has done the job nicely.
If you're not looking for fast read/write speeds that you won't go wrong with one of these, especially with it being a known brand and a good price too!

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 August 2024Capacity: 500GBStyle Name: 9.5mmVerified PurchaseThis hard drive has been performing exactly as expected. It was a good price when I bought it, making it a great value for the money.
In terms of performance, the hard drive works flawlessly. It handles all my storage needs efficiently, and I haven’t encountered any issues. It’s reliable and does its job well, which is all you can ask for from a hard drive.
I have no complaints about this product. If I ever need another hard drive in the future, I would probably get the same one again. It’s a solid choice for anyone looking for dependable storage at a reasonable price.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 August 2024Capacity: 500GBStyle Name: 9.5mmVerified PurchaseBought this to replace my dead ps4 Pro harddrive. Blue light of death, safemode restart did nothing so Followed youtube tutorial how to replace hardive which was the last option. Easy to install. My Ps4 is now alive and working perfectly fine.my only regret was not buying a more powerful hard drive like a more expensive sold state drive. Reason being I wasn't sure if it was my original hardive was the issue so bought the cheaper hardrive as a test..anyway. this hardrvie works fine as a replacement ps4 hardive.
Good quality for the price.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 December 2024Capacity: 1TBStyle Name: 9.5mmVerified PurchaseInstalled in eufy security hub. Stopped working after 1 week. HDD format error. Worked again if you format, but a week later same thing happens. Formatted again, then as expected around a week later format error
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 December 2024Capacity: 500GBStyle Name: 9.5mmVerified PurchaseThe hard drive failed in my freesat box. Thinking I would have to buy a new box at nearly £200 I went on YouTube for advice. So glad that I did as it is so easy to change the HDD yourself. This Toshiba drive was a like for like replacement at a little over £12. You will also need a T10S screwdriver to open the freesat box. Once the new HDD has been connected it just needs formatting in the settings. Job done.
