About Hardware TOSHIBA MK6465GSXN
The TOSHIBA MK6465GSXN is a thick 2.5-inch hard disk with 640GB of storage capacity, designed to meet the needs of laptops and external storage devices. This HDD uses a SATA II (3.0 Gbps) interface and operates at a rotational speed of 5400 RPM, resulting in a blend of power efficiency and storage capacity large enough for everyday needs.
Equipped with an 8MB cache buffer, the TOSHIBA MK6465GSXN is capable of handling light tasks such as storing documents, multimedia files, and running simple applications. Although its read and write speeds are not as fast as modern SSDs, this HDD is still a reliable and cost-effective storage solution, especially for users of older laptops or HDD-based systems that are still in good working order.
Physically, the drive typically uses two platters and four heads, which is common in mid-capacity HDDs like the 640GB. The drive also performed quite stably in speed testing, using the CrystalDiskMark application, the Hard Drive achieved a sequential read of 92.45 MB/s and a sequential write of 86.30 MB/s, depending on system conditions and data fragmentation.
Tests were conducted using an HP 1000 1b05au Laptop using a DVD Slot (HDD Caddy) and for CrystalDiskMark testing using a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 Laptop using a USB 3.0 HDD Enclosure, thus reflecting real performance in everyday usage scenarios. With the combination of large capacity and low power consumption, TOSHIBA MK6465GSXN is an ideal choice for users who want large-capacity internal storage without sacrificing power efficiency, such as for data backup, multimedia files, or secondary operating systems.
