About Hardware Hitachi HTS545050B9A300
The Hitachi HTS545050B9A300 is a chunky 2.5-inch hard disk with a 500GB capacity, designed for laptops and other portable devices that still rely on SATA-based storage media. It uses a 3Gbps SATA interface (SATA II) and operates at a rotational speed of 5400 RPM, providing a combination of low power consumption and sufficient performance for everyday computing tasks.
Equipped with 8MB of cache, the drive is capable of handling common storage needs such as documents, office applications, multimedia files, and operating system data. Although it has begun to be eclipsed by the speed and efficiency of SSDs, the HTS545050B9A300 remains an economical choice for users who need large capacity without breaking the bank.
The test was conducted using an HP Pavilion dv3-4054TX laptop, with the following configuration: Intel Core i7-720QM processor, 4GB DDR3 Single Channel RAM, and Windows 10 64-bit operating system. In this configuration, the HDD demonstrated standard performance for its class-it was able to run the operating system and basic applications such as browsers, media players, and Office documents stably.
Although not designed for high speeds, the Hitachi HTS545050B9A300 is still reliable for casual users or students, and is suitable for use as a second storage drive in modern systems via an external enclosure. With the Hitachi brand's reputation for reliability, this HDD offers a good balance between price, capacity, and power consumption.

About Hardware Intel Iris Xe Graphics (80EUs, Tiger Lake) [Disk]
Iris Xe Graphics (80EUs, Tiger Lake) is Intel's 11th Generation Core (Tiger Lake) iGPU, featuring 80 Execution Units (EUs) and improved performance over the previous generation. It is typically used for light graphics processing, 4K video playback, and casual gaming.
In this scenario, a portion of the VRAM (Video RAM) on the Iris Xe Graphics iGPU is allocated as a VRAMDisk, which is temporary storage within the VRAM. VRAMDisk can be used for data caching or certain experiments that utilize the high speed of VRAM for faster data processing, in this context the data storage is only used to store data and for speed tests.
