Review of Hitachi TravelStar 5K120 Hard Drive
|
| |
Hitachi TravelStar 5K120 that means a 120GB standard hard disk drive is relatively inexpensive compared to other standard products in the category on the market. Its burst transfer rate, that is the speed with which the drive moves data already in its cache into the computer, is 150 MBps. It has a 5400 RPM drive and an 8MB buffer.
Since it spins at only 5400 RPM it is slower than the average hard drives on the market today. However it is suitable for replacement or upgrading. In view of its relatively inexpensive price it offers good features for the money. If you need additional storage space this is just the thing that also sets new standards for power efficiency and heat dissipation.
The two-platter 120 GB drive consumes less power through a combination of Enhanced Adaptive Battery Life Extender and Hitachi Voltage Efficiency Regulator Technology. What this means is that the battery life and service life of the drive becomes longer. Connecting the 5K120 to your system is easy with ATA-7 interface.
While lower power is usually associated with reduced performance, Hitachi maintains its high standard for performance with a 16% boost in sustained data throughput, to provide a winning combination of high capacity, cool and quiet operation, performance, as well as superior shock tolerance on a proven platform for quality and reliability.
The 5400 RPM spindle speed in combination with the 8 MB buffer ensures smooth operation. With a blazing fast 7.1 average latency and an 11 ms average read seek time you can expect top notch performance from Hitachi Travelstar 5K120 Hard Drive. Key features of this Hitachi hard drive include:
- Size: 2.5 inches
- Capacities: 120 GB
- Speed: 5,400 RPM
