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 V-GeN 2GB MicroSD
V-GeN 2GB MicroSD is a small-capacity memory card that is still widely found in older devices such as feature phones, MP3 players, or early generation digital cameras. Using the conventional MicroSD standard, this card has high compatibility with various devices, although its data transfer performance is relatively low when compared to the new generation microSDHC or microSDXC cards.
With a capacity of only 2GB, these cards are more suitable for storing lightweight files such as text documents, configuration files, or a limited number of songs. Currently, cards like this are mostly utilized for special needs such as bootloader recovery, light backups, or simply backup storage for legacy systems.
The test was conducted using a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 with 12GB DDR4 Dual Channel RAM, running Windows 11 22H2 operating system, and using a VENTION USB 3.0 Card Reader with GL3224 controller connected to a USB 3.1 Gen 1 port.
From the performance testing results, the card recorded read speeds of 18.25 MB/s and write speeds of 10.70 MB/s in CrystalDiskMark. While in the Cross Platform Disk Test, the read speed reached 22.41 MB/s and write speed was 10.27 MB/s. These results reflect the typical performance of a low-capacity microSD, which is still sufficient for light use but clearly lags behind modern microSD cards.
Device Test:
Device: Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 (using VENTION USB 3.0 Card Reader GL3224 Controller)
RAM: 12GB DDR4 3200MHz Dual Channel (8+4)
OS: Windows 11 22H2
USB: USB 3.1 Gen 1
