About Hardware Hitachi HTS722016K9SA00

The Hitachi HTS722016K9SA00 is a thick design 2.5-inch hard disk with a capacity of 160GB, designed for laptops and other portable devices. Unlike most laptop HDDs that use a rotation speed of 5400 RPM, this model offers a speed of 7200 RPM, providing a significant improvement in read/write performance, especially in computing tasks that require fast data access.

Equipped with 16MB of buffer cache, this HDD is capable of handling heavier workloads, such as multitasking, application installation, or activities with high I/O intensity. This speed gives it an edge over regular HDDs in terms of response time and efficiency when running an operating system or opening large files. Although its capacity is relatively small when compared to today's storage standards, the HTS722016K9SA00 is still very suitable for use as additional storage or to revive older systems that still rely on 2.5” SATA storage.

The test was conducted using an HP 1000 1b05AU laptop with the following configuration: AMD E1-1200 CPU, 4GB DDR3 RAM (2x2GB in single-channel mode due to CPU limitations), and Windows 7 64-bit operating system. The HDD was installed via an HDD Caddy in place of an optical drive, demonstrating the flexibility of using it as a second storage in a system with an additional SATA slot.

During testing, the drive's performance showed fast response when booting the operating system, opening heavy applications, and performing large file transfers. Despite its limited capacity, the 7200 RPM speed and larger cache compared to 5400 RPM HDDs make it an ideal choice for users who prioritize access speed over large capacity.

The Hitachi HTS722016K9SA00 is still an attractive option for users who want fast yet affordable storage, especially in legacy system configurations or as a secondary drive for modern systems with specific needs.

Tested on:

Device: HP 1000 1b05au (using HDD Enclosure)
Specs: 
CPU: AMD E1-1200
OS: Windows 7
RAM: 2x2GB (Does not support dual channel due to limitations of the CPU, currently running single channel mode)

* For CrystalDiskMark the hard drive is directly run on the main sata port, and the hard drive is used as the operating system.

About Hardware Samsung EVO Plus 64GB

Samsung EVO Plus 64GB microSDXC is a high-performance memory card designed to meet the modern storage needs of devices such as smartphones, tablets, action cams, drones, and gaming consoles like Nintendo Switch. With a speed rating of UHS-I, Class 10, U1/V10, the card is capable of achieving read speeds of up to 130MB/s, making it an ideal choice for recording Full HD videos, storing high-resolution photos, and running mobile apps or games smoothly.

Using Samsung's advanced NAND flash technology, the EVO Plus delivers reliable performance and high durability in long-term use. The card has also passed tests to withstand extreme conditions-water resistance, heat and cold resistance, X-ray resistance, and magnetic field resistance, making it perfect for outdoor photographers, travelers, and other active users who are often in extreme environments.

Samsung also includes an SD adapter in the sales package, allowing users to utilize this card in DSLR cameras, camcorders, or laptops with standard SD slots. The exFAT file system support by default makes it compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Android, and others.

This card was tested using a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6, which features an Intel Core i5-1135G7, NVIDIA MX350 GPU, 12GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM, and 512GB NVMe SSD internal storage. The device was tested at a room temperature of 30°C based on the DHT11 sensor, and using a Lexar RW450 rev B card reader with a GL3231S controller via a USB 3.1 Gen 1 port. The test was conducted under new card conditions, with no files, and using the default settings in Device Manager (Quick Removal on).

Benchmark results using CrystalDiskMark show a very impressive performance, with a read speed of 124.57 MB/s and a write speed of 34.55 MB/s. These figures reflect the high speed and stable performance offered by the EVO Plus 64GB, making it very competitive in its class.

Overall, the Samsung EVO Plus 64GB microSDXC is a fast, reliable and durable storage solution. Suitable for a variety of purposes-from storing multimedia content to expanding the storage capacity of mobile devices-the card delivers optimal performance with the trusted quality of the Samsung brand. For users who need a fast microSD card with high durability and broad support for modern devices, EVO Plus is a highly recommended choice.
