About Hardware Hitachi HTS543232A7A384

The Hitachi HTS543232A7A384 is a 2.5-inch hard disk with a 320GB capacity, designed for laptops and portable storage devices. It uses a 3Gbps SATA II interface and has a rotation speed of 5400 RPM, making it a more power-efficient option than 7200 RPM HDDs. This speed is ideal for light everyday use, where power efficiency and stability take precedence over high performance.

With 8MB of buffer cache, the drive is reliable enough to handle document storage, multimedia files such as music and videos, and light applications. While its data transfer speeds are not as fast as modern SSDs, the HTS543232A7A384 remains a solid choice for users looking for low-cost, high-capacity storage, especially in previous generation laptops or external enclosures.

The main test was conducted using a SAMSUNG 300E4Z laptop equipped with Intel Celeron B815, 4GB DDR3 Dual Channel RAM (2x2GB), and running Windows 7 64-bit operating system. The results obtained reflect real performance in an entry-level computing environment.

In addition, the HDD was also tested using the cross-platform method by utilizing a USB 3.0 enclosure connected to a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 (Intel Core i5-1135G7, Windows 11) via a USB 3.1 Gen 1 port. This test showed that the hard disk remains compatible and works well on modern devices via an external connection, although performance is limited by the speed of the internal drive.

With its reliable design and broad compatibility, the Hitachi HTS543232A7A384 is still relevant as a backup storage solution or external storage medium for users who need a sizable storage capacity without having to spend a lot.
