    How is Hitachi Travelstar 5K750 hard drive?

    I was told to get the Hitachi Travelstar 5K750 hard drive and frankly speaking I am not having any idea about it. So thought to take some help from you members who must be knowing about much more about such hardware peripheral. I just know that Hitachi offers the Series Travelstar 5K750 2.5-inch mobile hard drives with capacities of 500, 640 and 750 GByte. The SATA-II drives are working with energy-efficient 5400 rpm, the high data density of magnetic disks are still high transfer rates are achieved. But how is the performance of it when compared to other hard drives? I am sure that you will mention more details about it. Kind request to all you members, please provide me details fast, so that I can decide to purchase it or not.

    Hitachi used in the Travelstar 5K750 magnetic disks with a very high data density of 472 Gbit / inch². This allows the manufacturer 375 GB capacity per platter. The top model with 750 GB thus only two slices are necessary - according to the overall height remains at the usual 9.5 mm. Model 500 and 640 GB, Hitachi in the Travelstar 5K750-series also available. Also with two slices of placement, these models are not used the entire surface to the inside. As the "5" in the product name "5K750" implies, the Travelstar models operate at 5400 rpm. To buffer the data is available for all three capacity variants with 8 MB of relatively small-sized cache. The interface is with Hitachi SATA II on proven and fully adequate storage.

    Hitachi Travelstar 5K750 used in the new technology internally Advanced Format (AF). With AF are in future hard drives higher data densities possible. It uses AF a sector size of 4 Kbytes, instead of the previous 512 bytes. In particular, Windows XP comes with the 4-KByte sectors still several issues that while Windows Vista and Windows 7, the new sector size support automatically. Hitachi uses internal 4 Kbyte sector size with an additional 512-byte sector emulation. The host system sees the hard drive so with the standard 512-byte sector size. According to Hitachi Travelstar 5K750 in the required Write/Read, energy-saving sleep mode 0.5 watts. When the energy absorption capacity is 1.4 Watt. For comparison, a 7200 model, also with two magnetic disks typically consumed 0.8 (idle) and 2.0 Watt (Read/Write).

    The Travelstar 5K750 achieved by a high data density, a very good maximum sequential transfer rate of 107 Mbytes/s. Here is the drive with the Toshiba MK7559GSXP at a level that by 5400 rpm and also-gigabyte discs is working 375th To slow down indoor Hitachi is responsible to the Toshiba MK7559GSXP however slightly: 46 instead of 51 MByte/s. For the average access time Hitachi Travelstar 5K750 is acting in a comparison of models with 5400 rpm very fast. Only the Seagate Momentus XT is due to the higher speed even faster in the head positioning. Toshiba MK7559GSXP it can be here too leisurely approach to the head positioning. Less convincing is the Travelstar 5K750 will present our practice tests in reading, writing and copying of files of varying sizes. This provides the 2.5-inch drive only an average performance. Toshiba also blotted MK7559GSXP here do not necessarily famous. Seagate Momentus 5400.6 - which is in the sequential transfer rates significantly slower - is in some cases significantly faster. For example, the Momentus 5400.6 copies with 38 MByte/s, while the Traveling Star 5K750 only 21 MByte/s purchased.

    Hitachi Travelstar 5K750 convinced sequential with very high transfer rates, quiet operation and low power consumption. Additionally, with 750GB capacity in much smaller form factor for the standard height of 9.5 mm. In practical use with applications and for typical file operations reached the SATA II hard drive, however, only satisfactory performance ratings. The following are the specifications of it:
    • Manufacturer - Hitachi
    • Interface - SATA 300
    • Speed - 5400 RPM
    • Cache - 8 MB
    • Capacity - 750 GByte

    As a test platform for the 3.5-inch hard drives are used is a Gigabyte 890GPA-UD3H with AMD 890GX chipset. The Socket AM3 motherboard we equip with a Phenom X4 910e. The quad-core CPU runs at a clock frequency of 2.6 GHz and has a maximum power dissipation of 65 watts more power efficient. The processor has 4 GB DDR3-1333 DIMMs as memory. The control of the disks takes AMD's 890GX chipset, which provides six SATA 3.0 interfaces. This is a theoretical transfer rate of 600 Mbytes/s over the interface. As a system drive, we use the 500-gigabyte hard drive Samsung F3 HD502HJ SpinPoint one. The SATA II hard drive contains the operating system Windows 7 Professional in the 32-bit version. So according to me, it is good choice if you are looking for this hard drive.
