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 KLM8G1GETF-B041

Samsung KLM8G1GETF-B041 is an 8GB eMMC storage module designed specifically for mobile devices, tablets, embedded systems, and various other compact electronic devices. Using eMMC 5.1 technology, this chip delivers balanced performance, high power efficiency, and long-term reliability in a space-saving and cost-effective package.

As an embedded storage solution, the module combines Samsung's high-quality NAND flash with an internal controller in a single BGA153 package. With the HS400 interface, the module is able to achieve data transfer rates that are capable enough to run lightweight operating systems, store application data, and handle basic file management processes. It is suitable for use in devices such as set-top boxes, Android TV, IoT devices, and light operating systems based on Linux or Android.

In tests using a FiberHome HG680-P device powered by Amlogic S905X with 2GB of RAM and AtvXperience (Android TV 6) operating system, the Samsung KLM8G1GETF-B041 recorded read speeds of 57.46 MB/s and write speeds of 37.79 MB/s on the Cross Platform Disk Test (Mobile). These figures show quite responsive performance for activities such as system booting, running light applications, and multimedia streaming.

Despite having only 8GB of capacity, this module is still relevant for scenarios that do not require large storage space, such as media players, lightweight Android-based systems, or IoT devices that perform specific functions. The lack of DRAM cache and the unstated TBW value indicate that this module is intended for light, less write-intensive workloads.

Overall, the Samsung KLM8G1GETF-B041 is a compact, efficient and reliable 8GB eMMC solution, ideal for embedded systems or devices with space and power constraints. For developers or system integrators who need stable performance embedded storage from a reputable brand, this eMMC is an option worth considering.

Device test (testbed):

Device: FiberHome HG680-P
CPU: Amlogic S905X
RAM: 2GB
Storage: 8GB
OS: AtvXperience (Android TV 6)
