About Hardware DDR4 SODIMM 3200MHz [Disk]

DDR4 SODIMM 3200MHz is a high-speed RAM module designed for use in modern laptops with a small form factor (SO-DIMM). With an effective frequency of up to 3200MHz, this module delivers higher bandwidth and better power efficiency compared to previous generations, such as DDR3. These DDR4 modules are perfect for heavy multitasking, large application processing, and light gaming on portable devices.

In this test, the 3200MHz DDR4 SODIMM module was configured as a RAMDisk, which is a super-fast storage system that utilizes part of the RAM capacity to serve as an ultra-high-speed virtual drive. Using a RAMDisk allows for much faster file access than an SSD, making it an ideal solution for data caching, temporary file processing or extreme I/O testing. Despite its temporary nature (data is lost when the computer is shut down or restarted), its performance advantage is felt in certain scenarios such as fast rendering, program compilation, or storage benchmarks.

The test was conducted on a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 laptop with an Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor, 12GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM in a dual channel configuration (8GB V-GeN + 4GB onboard Micron), and Windows 11 22H2 operating system. The 2GB RAMDisk was created using SoftPerfect RAMDisk and ImDisk Virtual Disk applications, two popular software for managing RAM-based virtual storage.

The benchmark results showed very impressive performance: CrystalDiskMark recorded read speeds of 7844.91 MB/s and write speeds of 12726.74 MB/s, while in ATTO Disk Benchmark (64MB block size), read speeds reached 5740.00 MB/s and write speeds of 6020.00 MB/s. These results prove that using RAMDisk with 3200MHz DDR4 is one of the most effective ways to deliver ultra-fast storage performance in laptop systems, exceeding the speed of even NVMe SSDs in certain scenarios. With ultra-low latency and high bandwidth, 3200MHz DDR4 SODIMM-based RAMDisks are an attractive solution for users who require extreme performance for specific tasks.

About Hardware TOSHIBA MK6459GSXP

The TOSHIBA MK6459GSXP is a 2.5-inch hard disk drive (HDD) with a storage capacity of 640GB, designed specifically for small laptops, notebooks and external enclosures. It uses a 3Gbps SATA interface and operates at a rotational speed of 5400 RPM, providing a balance between power efficiency and stable performance for daily computing needs such as document storage, media, and light application use.

With 8MB of cache support, the TOSHIBA MK6459GSXP is able to provide quite good data response for the conventional HDD class. While not as fast as a solid-state drive (SSD), it is still an economical and reliable storage solution, especially for users who prioritize large capacity in a compact form factor. It can be used as a primary or secondary drive for data backup, media collection storage, and general productivity needs.

Based on the test results on the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i device using the Orico USB 3.0 enclosure, the drive recorded read speeds of 90.15 MB/s and write speeds of 90.76 MB/s in the CrystalDiskMark test. Meanwhile, in the ATTO Disk Benchmark (64MB data block), it recorded read speeds of 70.20 MB/s and write speeds of 88.28 MB/s. These results show that the TOSHIBA MK6459GSXP is capable of delivering consistent data transfer performance, making it an ideal choice for users who need a large-capacity storage solution at an affordable price.

With Toshiba brand quality and long-term reliability, the MK6459GSXP remains relevant as a 2.5-inch HDD storage option that is power-efficient, robust, and compatible with a wide range of modern and legacy devices.
