In fact were coming on nearly a full year since the changing of hands.Hitachis old HDD business in now known as HGST, a separate division of WD proper.
![]() Their newest solution under the HGST label is the 1TB 7200rpm 32MB cache Travelstar 2.5-inch High Performance SATA III hard drive. If you want a hard drive with more space, take a look at our Western Digital WD Black 4TB internal SATA 6gbs hard drive review. Or you could compare with our Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200RPM internal hard drive review. This drive like the Seagate hybrid solid state drive are made with the reduced footprint for either mobile use or installation within a mini PC such as the Sapphire EDGE or the recently reviewed Lenovo Q190. To contrast, the Seagate SSHD uses a 64mb cache and whirs along at a slower 5400rpm. Hgst Travelstar Free Design AndOther features of the Travelstar include an enlarged sector size of 4,096 (4k) from the more standard 512 byte, shock tolerance, eco-conscious halogen-free design and lower power consumption that should help keep your system powered for a bit longer. You get the 1TB hard drive, installation guide and quick start manual and a flyer for 3GB of cloud storage at Touro Cloud Backup. ![]() Hgst Travelstar Software Such AsTo my surprise, the only thing missing from the package is a solid HDD management software such as Acronis. With it we were able to quickly clone a bootable Windows 7 install to the Travelstar. Cloning all the content (50gb) from the original drive to the Travelstar took less than 10min. We used our favorite HDD test ATTO Bench for our synthetic testing of sequential readwrite speeds. Those are paltry speeds when compared to high end solid state drives. But theyre pretty good for a larger capacity drive with such a reduced cache. In our real world test we take 2.74GB of random files, movies, documents and pics from a USB 3.0 HDD to the HGST Travelstar. The 2.5-inch Travelstar is a fine drive at an affordable price when you consider the capacity. It can keep pace with a users mobile needs where reliability and efficiency trump speed and bragging rights. Editor Rating: Rating: 3.55 Very Good Bottom Line: The Travelstar is a great 1TB hard drive. It easily outperforms your old 5400rpm drives with energy efficient power saving and reliable performance.
