About: Cross Platform Disk TestMeasuring storage performance (SSD, HDD, USB Flash etc.) and RAM speed across Windows, macOS and Android devices. Random and sequential throughput (read/write operations) is calculted in MB/s and can be compared in consistent and reliable manner between mobile and desktop platfotms and devices.
The HGST HTS545050A7E680 is a 500GB hard disk drive (HDD) designed for storage needs in laptops, external enclosures, and other mobile devices. With a 2.5-inch form factor, 5400 RPM rotation speed, and 3.0Gbps SATA II interface, this HDD offers an ideal blend of capacity, power efficiency, and stable and quiet performance for everyday computing needs.
Based on the Travelstar Z5K500 family, this HDD uses 1 platter and 2 heads, which structurally supports reasonably efficient performance without generating excess heat or noise. The 8MB buffer cache provides a speed boost in short data processing, which is especially useful for light activities such as opening document files, playing videos, and storing business application data.
In tests using a USB 3.0 HDD enclosure connected to a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 14ITL6 laptop (with Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor and 12GB DDR4 dual-channel RAM), the drive recorded CrystalDiskMark scores of 108.05 MB/s read and 104.88 MB/s write speeds. Meanwhile, the ATTO Disk Benchmark (64M) test showed read performance of 102.40 MB/s and write performance of 101.45 MB/s - relatively good results for a 5400 RPM HDD in an external configuration.
While not an SSD, the HGST HTS545050A7E680 still offers high reliability and low power consumption, making it a suitable solution for users who need additional storage or an affordable replacement for an internal HDD while still prioritizing long-term stability. In addition, HGST's shock resistance feature provides extra protection against minor physical impacts that often occur on mobile devices.
Overall, the HGST HTS545050A7E680 is a great choice for laptop users, light content creators or business users who require medium capacity, low power consumption and reliable performance in a portable or internal drive.
