About Hardware TOSHIBA MK6465GSXN

The TOSHIBA MK6465GSXN is a thick 2.5-inch hard disk with 640GB of storage capacity, designed to meet the needs of laptops and external storage devices. This HDD uses a SATA II (3.0 Gbps) interface and operates at a rotational speed of 5400 RPM, resulting in a blend of power efficiency and storage capacity large enough for everyday needs.

Equipped with an 8MB cache buffer, the TOSHIBA MK6465GSXN is capable of handling light tasks such as storing documents, multimedia files, and running simple applications. Although its read and write speeds are not as fast as modern SSDs, this HDD is still a reliable and cost-effective storage solution, especially for users of older laptops or HDD-based systems that are still in good working order.

Physically, the drive typically uses two platters and four heads, which is common in mid-capacity HDDs like the 640GB. The drive also performed quite stably in speed testing, using the CrystalDiskMark application, the Hard Drive achieved a sequential read of 92.45 MB/s and a sequential write of 86.30 MB/s, depending on system conditions and data fragmentation.

Tests were conducted using an HP 1000 1b05au Laptop using a DVD Slot (HDD Caddy) and for CrystalDiskMark testing using a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 Laptop using a USB 3.0 HDD Enclosure, thus reflecting real performance in everyday usage scenarios. With the combination of large capacity and low power consumption, TOSHIBA MK6465GSXN is an ideal choice for users who want large-capacity internal storage without sacrificing power efficiency, such as for data backup, multimedia files, or secondary operating systems.

About Hardware SanDisk MicroSDHC 4GB

The SanDisk MicroSDHC 4GB Class 4 is a small yet powerful flash memory card designed specifically for devices such as cell phones, digital cameras, music players and other electronic devices that support the microSDHC format. With a capacity of 4GB, this card is enough to store hundreds of photos, dozens of songs, a few short videos, and lightweight applications - making it an ideal solution for everyday storage needs, especially on previous generation devices.

As a Class 4 memory card, this microSD guarantees a minimum write speed of 4MB/s, enough to handle standard activities such as recording SD videos, saving camera shots, or loading application data on mobile devices. SanDisk's proven flash memory technology makes this card resistant to shock, vibration, and light to moderate wear conditions, suitable for field use as well as for personal multimedia collections.

In performance testing using a VENTION USB 3.0 card reader (with GL3224 controller) connected to a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 laptop (Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor, 12GB DDR4 dual-channel RAM), the benchmark results showed consistent performance and within its class specifications. Through CrystalDiskMark, the card recorded read speeds of 19.50 MB/s and write speeds of 5.66 MB/s. Meanwhile, in the Cross Platform Disk Test, the read speed reached 18.71 MB/s with a write of 4.16 MB/s.

To ensure authenticity and actual capacity, verification was also done using H2testw, which showed satisfactory results: read speeds of 18.8 MB/s and write speeds of 4.51 MB/s with no sector errors or damage to its 4GB capacity. This confirms that this memory card is not only genuine, but also functional and stable to use for important data storage.

With stable performance, enough capacity for lightweight needs, and a very affordable price, the SanDisk MicroSDHC 4GB Class 4 remains a relevant choice for users who need simple, durable, and power-efficient additional storage, especially on older devices or as a portable backup medium.
