About Hardware TOSHIBA MK3252GSX
The TOSHIBA MK3252GSX is a chunky 2.5-inch hard disk with a 320GB capacity, specifically designed for use in laptops and other mobile devices. Using a SATA II (3.0 Gbps) interface and operating at a rotational speed of 5400 RPM, this HDD offers a balance between power efficiency and basic performance, making it an ideal solution for everyday use.
Equipped with 8MB of buffer cache, the drive is capable enough to handle common storage needs such as operating system files, work documents, music collections, and medium-resolution videos. Although it cannot match the speed of a solid-state drive (SSD), the TOSHIBA MK3252GSX remains an affordable alternative for users who prioritize storage capacity at a more economical price.
Physically, this hard disk generally uses two platters and four heads to read and write data, a standard configuration for a 320GB HDD. In synthetic testing, the read and sequential speed was 41.22 MB/s and the write speed was 38.74 MB/s, depending on system conditions and data fragmentation.
Despite the growing popularity of SSDs, the TOSHIBA MK3252GSX remains relevant as a backup storage solution or as a cost-effective upgrade for older laptops that still rely on mechanical storage media. Its ample capacity and power efficiency make it suitable for use in educational systems, netbooks or home computers with light to medium storage requirements.

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
