About Hardware SK hynix H9TQ27ADFTMC

SK hynix H9TQ27ADFTMC is an eMMC (embedded MultiMediaCard) based storage chip designed for mobile devices and embedded systems. With NAND Flash technology, it offers an efficient and power-efficient internal storage solution for devices with light to medium computing needs. It has become a common choice in entry-level smartphones, tablets, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, thanks to its combination of sufficient capacity, high endurance, and long-term stable performance.

As an internal chip, the H9TQ27ADFTMC comes in a small yet reliable package, combining the controller and flash memory in a single unit for easy integration in consumer devices. One of the main advantages of eMMC storage like this is low power consumption and better data access latency compared to traditional SD card-based storage.

The test was conducted on an OPPO A5s device, a smartphone with a MediaTek Helio P35 (MT6765) processor, 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal storage. The operating system used was Android 8 with the ColorOS 5.2 interface. The test was conducted after the device had been in use for more than four years, so performance results may have decreased due to NAND Flash degradation over time.

In testing using the Cross Platform Disk Test (Mobile), the read speed of 114.31 MB/s and write speed of 13.07 MB/s were obtained. These results show that despite its age, the eMMC's read performance is still quite good for activities such as opening applications, loading the system, and streaming light content.

As a first-in-class internal storage solution, the SK hynix H9TQ27ADFTMC is suitable for devices that require fixed (non-removable) internal storage capacity with high efficiency, low cost, and sufficient endurance for daily use. Although its write speed is not as fast as more modern UFS technology, eMMC remains a popular choice due to its stability and ease of integration in many low- to mid-end devices.

Device: OPPO A5s
CPU: MediaTek MT6765 Helio P35
RAM: 3GB
Storage: 32GB
OS: Android 8, ColorOS 5.2

* The test was conducted after the device was approximately 4 years old, perhaps the performance has decreased

About Hardware HGST HTS545050A7E680

The HGST HTS545050A7E680 is a 500GB hard disk drive (HDD) designed for storage needs in laptops, external enclosures, and other mobile devices. With a 2.5-inch form factor, 5400 RPM rotation speed, and 3.0Gbps SATA II interface, this HDD offers an ideal blend of capacity, power efficiency, and stable and quiet performance for everyday computing needs.

Based on the Travelstar Z5K500 family, this HDD uses 1 platter and 2 heads, which structurally supports reasonably efficient performance without generating excess heat or noise. The 8MB buffer cache provides a speed boost in short data processing, which is especially useful for light activities such as opening document files, playing videos, and storing business application data.

In tests using a USB 3.0 HDD enclosure connected to a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 laptop (with Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor and 12GB DDR4 dual-channel RAM), the drive recorded CrystalDiskMark scores of 108.05 MB/s read and 104.88 MB/s write speeds. Meanwhile, the ATTO Disk Benchmark (64M) test showed read performance of 102.40 MB/s and write performance of 101.45 MB/s - relatively good results for a 5400 RPM HDD in an external configuration.

While not an SSD, the HGST HTS545050A7E680 still offers high reliability and low power consumption, making it a suitable solution for users who need additional storage or an affordable replacement for an internal HDD while still prioritizing long-term stability. In addition, HGST's shock resistance feature provides extra protection against minor physical impacts that often occur on mobile devices.

Overall, the HGST HTS545050A7E680 is a great choice for laptop users, light content creators or business users who require medium capacity, low power consumption and reliable performance in a portable or internal drive.
