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.
Tested on:
Device: SAMSUNG 300E4Z
CPU: Intel Celeron B815
RAM: 4GB DDR3 Dual Channel (2x2GB)
OS: Windows 7
* Special Cross Platform Disk Test using IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 Laptop (i5-1135G7, Win11, USB 3.1 Gen 1) and using USB 3.0 Harddisk Enclosure

About Hardware Maestromemory MicroSDXC 128GB
MaestroMemory MicroSDXC 128GB is an affordable yet reliable external storage solution, designed for use in various devices such as smartphones, tablets, digital cameras, and laptops. Supported by UHS-I and Class 10 technology, this memory card offers high data transfer speeds to support multimedia needs such as video recording, storing high-resolution photos, and running mobile applications without any significant obstacles.
The large capacity of 128GB provides ample space to store important files such as work documents, music collections, and video content. In addition, MaestroMemory also emphasizes power efficiency and resistance to various environmental conditions, such as high and low temperatures, making it suitable for long-term use in various situations. The card is compatible with the exFAT file system which is the storage standard for modern devices, maximizing space usage and compatibility.
The test was conducted using a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 equipped with an Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor, NVIDIA MX350 GPU, and 12GB RAM, with Windows 11 Home 23H2 operating system. The tests were conducted through the USB 3.1 Gen 1 port using a VENTION USB 3.0 card reader with GL3224 controller, in a freshly opened card condition, with no files, and the default “Quick Removal” policy from Device Manager.
The benchmark results show quite competitive performance in its class. In tests using CrystalDiskMark, the 128GB MaestroMemory recorded read speeds of 93.41 MB/s and write speeds of 55.99 MB/s. Further testing with ATTO Disk Benchmark (64M) showed read speeds of 92.09 MB/s and write speeds of 45.47 MB/s, while Cross Platform Disk Test recorded speeds of 91.13 MB/s for read and 47.95 MB/s for write. These figures show that this microSD card is capable of meeting daily needs such as Full HD video recording, installation of large applications, or transferring large amounts of data.
However, it should be noted that we did not find any official information about the manufacturer of MaestroMemory, including the company's website or technical documentation that is usually found on reputable brands. We found this microSD card widely sold in the Indonesian marketplace, and based on discussions, there is speculation that MaestroMemory is a sub-brand of V-GeN Indonesia, although this claim has yet to be officially verified. If you try to search for MaestroMemory on international marketplaces, you will most likely not find it.
For additional validation, we also conducted a capacity integrity test using H2testw, and the results showed that the MaestroMemory 128GB microSD passed the test, with the correct capacity and no damaged areas or fake storage detected.
Overall, the MaestroMemory MicroSDXC 128GB is an attractive option for users looking for a large capacity memory card at a competitive price, as long as it is used in accordance with its class and segmentation. As a wise move, users are advised to always perform authenticity checks and post-purchase performance tests.
