About Hardware SK hynix H9TQ27ADFTMC

SK hynix H9TQ27ADFTMC is an eMMC (embedded MultiMediaCard) based storage chip designed for mobile devices and embedded systems. With NAND Flash technology, it offers an efficient and power-efficient internal storage solution for devices with light to medium computing needs. It has become a common choice in entry-level smartphones, tablets, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, thanks to its combination of sufficient capacity, high endurance, and long-term stable performance.

As an internal chip, the H9TQ27ADFTMC comes in a small yet reliable package, combining the controller and flash memory in a single unit for easy integration in consumer devices. One of the main advantages of eMMC storage like this is low power consumption and better data access latency compared to traditional SD card-based storage.

The test was conducted on an OPPO A5s device, a smartphone with a MediaTek Helio P35 (MT6765) processor, 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal storage. The operating system used was Android 8 with the ColorOS 5.2 interface. The test was conducted after the device had been in use for more than four years, so performance results may have decreased due to NAND Flash degradation over time.

In testing using the Cross Platform Disk Test (Mobile), the read speed of 114.31 MB/s and write speed of 13.07 MB/s were obtained. These results show that despite its age, the eMMC's read performance is still quite good for activities such as opening applications, loading the system, and streaming light content.

As a first-in-class internal storage solution, the SK hynix H9TQ27ADFTMC is suitable for devices that require fixed (non-removable) internal storage capacity with high efficiency, low cost, and sufficient endurance for daily use. Although its write speed is not as fast as more modern UFS technology, eMMC remains a popular choice due to its stability and ease of integration in many low- to mid-end devices.

Device: OPPO A5s
CPU: MediaTek MT6765 Helio P35
RAM: 3GB
Storage: 32GB
OS: Android 8, ColorOS 5.2

* The test was conducted after the device was approximately 4 years old, perhaps the performance has decreased

About Hardware WD Scorpio Blue WD5000BEVT

WD Scorpio Blue WD5000BEVT 500GB is a 2.5-inch hard disk designed for laptops and portable storage devices. With a 3Gbps SATA-II interface and a rotation speed of 5400 RPM, this drive offers a balance between power efficiency and sufficient performance for everyday computing tasks.

Equipped with 8MB of cache, the drive is capable of handling stable data access for needs such as multimedia storage, work documents, and general file management. While not as fast as an SSD, the WD5000BEVT is still an economical choice and has a sizable storage capacity in a 2.5-inch form factor.

In performance testing, the hard drive was tested using an Orico USB 3.0 enclosure connected to a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 system, powered by an Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor and 12GB DDR4 dual channel RAM. Benchmark results showed read and write speeds of 66.33 MB/s and 66.58 MB/s in the CrystalDiskMark application. Meanwhile, through ATTO Disk Benchmark with a 64MB block size, the drive recorded read speeds of 109.09 MB/s and write speeds of 109.56 MB/s. This performance is quite good for the older generation 5400 RPM HDD category, although it is clearly still far behind compared to modern solid-state drive (SSD) speeds that can touch hundreds or even thousands of megabytes per second.

⚠️ Important Disclaimer

Based on analysis from CrystalDiskInfo and Hard Disk Sentinel, there are indications that this hard drive is most likely not an original unit or has been refurbished. This is inferred from the discrepancy between:

• The physical label of the drive (which indicates the WD5000BEVT model),
• and the firmware data/internal information read by the application, which does not fully match the characteristics of the original WD Scorpio Blue.

Due to such discrepancies, we consider this unit to NOT be a true WD WD5000BEVT, and users are advised to exercise caution when purchasing loose (used, without official packaging) HDDs, especially from secondary markets or unauthorized distributors.

Despite its decent performance and sizable 500GB capacity, it's important to always verify the authenticity of a storage product, especially if it's used to store important data. This hard drive still works well, but it cannot be used as an accurate representation of the original WD Scorpio Blue product.
