About Hardware Hitachi HTS547550A9E384

The Hitachi HTS547550A9E384 is a 500GB 2.5-inch hard disk drive (HDD) designed for laptops, notebooks and portable devices. This HDD belongs to the Travelstar 5K750 line, which is known for its balance between performance, power efficiency and reliability.

Using a 3.0Gbps SATA-II interface and a rotation speed of 5400 RPM, the drive offers good enough performance for daily computing activities such as document storage, multimedia playback, and light operating system installation. Equipped with an 8MB buffer cache, this hard drive provides a stable usage experience, though not as fast as a 7200 RPM HDD.

The Hitachi HTS547550A9E384 comes with a 500GB capacity, enough to store thousands of documents, photos, and multimedia files on a single device. This hard disk uses a 2.5-inch form factor with a SATA-II (3.0Gbps) interface, which is still widely used in older generation laptops. The spinning speed is 5400 RPM, which is not as fast as a 7200 RPM HDD, but it is more power-efficient and quieter in operation.

Underneath the body, this HDD has an 8MB buffer (cache), and consists of two platters and three data-reading heads. The drive is part of the Travelstar 5K750 line, which is known for its durability and efficiency for everyday use, especially in portable devices or laptops with limited power.

To determine its performance, the drive was tested using an HP 1000 1b05au laptop powered by an AMD E1-1200 processor, with a 2x2GB DDR3 1066MHz RAM configuration in single channel mode due to limited dual channel support on the CPU. The drive is mounted via HDD Caddy on the DVD slot and runs Windows 7 operating system.

In tests using CrystalDiskMark, the HDD recorded a read speed of 88.66 MB/s and a write speed of 88.06 MB/s. These results reflect the typical performance of a 5400 RPM HDD with a SATA-II interface, sufficient for standard use such as light booting, file storage, and basic applications.

That's consistent performance with 5400RPM HDDs of this generation and interface. While these drives don't rival SSDs in terms of speed, they are still an ideal power-saving storage solution for devices with battery limitations or legacy devices that still rely on mechanical storage.

Device test (testbed):

About Hardware Samsung KMQD60013M-B318

Samsung KMQD60013M-B318 is a 32GB eMMC (embedded MultiMediaCard) storage module designed for mobile devices, tablets, and embedded systems with a need for reliable, efficient, and affordable internal storage. Featuring eMMC 5.1 technology, the module delivers significant improvements in read/write speed and power efficiency over previous generation eMMC versions, making it a great choice for consistently supporting operating system and application performance.

The module uses Samsung's proven NAND flash memory, providing better stability, durability and power consumption efficiency over the long term. Its compact design also allows for seamless integration in embedded systems and entry- to mid-range smartphones, without sacrificing the basic performance required for everyday needs such as opening applications, storing photos/videos, and performing system updates.

The test was conducted using a Realme C2 device, equipped with a MediaTek MT6762V SoC (Helio P22), 2GB of RAM, and 32GB of Samsung eMMC 5.1 KMQD60013M-B318 internal storage. The system runs on Android 9 with the ColorOS 6 interface, giving a real sense of how this eMMC performs in real-world use.

Benchmark results show that this storage module delivers quite responsive performance for its class. In tests using AnTuTu Benchmark v10 (Mobile) for storage tests, the Samsung KMQD60013M-B318 recorded read speeds of up to 183.7 MB/s and write speeds of 40.0 MB/s, which is sufficient to ensure a smooth user experience in running applications or moving between menus.

Meanwhile, in the Cross Platform Disk Test, the results obtained were 80.64 MB/s (read) and 12.15 MB/s (write), reflecting actual performance in cross-platform scenarios or mixed load usage. Testing with PCMark for Android - Storage 2.0 also gave numbers close to AnTuTu's results, with 182.94 MB/s for read and 13.34 MB/s for write, showing consistent performance in various synthetic tests.

Overall, the Samsung KMQD60013M-B318 32GB eMMC 5.1 is an economical yet competent internal storage solution, suitable for use in entry-level mobile devices that prioritize power efficiency, long-term reliability, and stable base performance. Whether used in smartphones, IoT devices, or other embedded systems, this module offers added value with Samsung's signature quality.
