HGST Travelstar 500GB 2.5" 7200RPM SATA III HDD with 32MB Cache, 6Gbps SATA Interface (HTS725050B7E630) Review

Ordinary hard without anything special. It works, there are no errors during operation, the speeds are quite normal for a cheap disk. Only its noise of heads and air turbulence infuriates when the disk rotates inside, Windows constantly communicates with it even in idle time and this is wildly tired (perhaps someone will not care). . I cut out a piece of cardboard to fit the top cover of the disc and installed it in my travelmate p 259 mg. It became quiet and now you can not hear these…

I bought it for a laptop to replace an old 5200RPM screw, buggy, with bad sectors. If we compare the speed of loading locations in World of Warcraft, Dalaran loaded for 3 minutes, + a few more minutes for loading textures, now 3-4 seconds, and the textures are instantly are loading! Happy as an elephant!

a friend bought to replace the previous one (he also died), as a result, after 10 days there is no living space on the disk, bads from the first to the last sectors I do not advise anyone to give 3000r for a piece of iron pretending to be a disk

died in a month. but the laptop is standing by the battery, the heating season has begun, I did not catch up that the hard drive will be covered from this. took the same. in general, I think to take a less productive hard drive, but quiet! in silence, straining to listen to how he turns circles.

Took 2 times. The first time this hard drive broke down a month after the start of use. I thought that this was an isolated case with this model and exchanged it under warranty for the same one. As a result, the second one broke after 2 years.

This is a wonderful hard drive. Installed to replace old ones in dozens of laptops and computers, as well as in home video surveillance systems. This model is demanding to observe the temperature regime due to increased heat dissipation (compared to railway from 5400 rpm). Attention! The hard disk requires preparation for work, namely, an increase in the APM parameter (from 128 to 200-220).

Before that I had been in a laptop for 3 years with a small WD2500BEVT. The case warmed noticeably and parked the head with a loud click, but it still works, but already outside the laptop :) But this one is practically inaudible in operation, if you do not listen, and the heat in the area where the disk was installed has become smaller. After installing this disk, I came to thecomnclusion that the previous disk raised the temperature of allcommponents by 4-5 degrees! Significantly increased

= Reliable HDD that has stood the test of time. I recommend to buy. Different pros: + Reliability. Survived laptop and PC. It still works. He's 10+ years old by the way. + Smartly works. Not an SSD, of course, but for all the time it has never failed in this regard. Got cons: - Long loading Windows. However, if you haven’t sat on an SSD before, then everything will be fine. - After the start of Windows, it takes a while to hit 100% load. But this is not very critical for such a price and…

I bought a disk for the new year on the 20th, on the 28th it broke, the head clicked, the info was lost, I took it back under warranty, my brains hovered for 45 days, then they called and said pick up a new one, I was delighted and thought it was an accident, installed Windows and programs, worked for 2 months, 21 February, he died again and started clicking heads again, decided to check the serial numbers on the disk, maybe they were repairing it, took a picture of the first one before handing

I contacted support under the warranty, they gave the number of Mikhail (the seller) - I contacted him, he asked me to send a hard drive for verification by the sdek and if the problem is confirmed, he will send a new one and pay my expenses for delivery to Hong Kong. Further on 08/05/22 he receives the package, but does not talk about it I waited for an answer until August 10, until I wrote to him again The answer was “I received the parcel, the hard drive is being checked” Today is…

I’ll drop into the sea with a commentary, I spend a lot of time at the computer in general because of watching videos, well, plus climbing in virtual machines, I often change the OS, I have to switch to Linux then to Windows (for training) and back, the disk breaks in literally 8 months with this active use. (the information is based on the use of 2 such hard drives)

Due to the size limitations of the system unit case (at the time of purchase), I had to use 4 such disks at once for file storage (not for raid): On one photo and video, on the other - games, on the third tore * you, and on 4 just programs. At the moment (end of 2022), with such an availability of SSD, I would not recommend it as the main hard drive, but 7200 revolutions make themselves felt (unlike 5400) and the speed of work was completely satisfied in all cases. Honestly worked for 2+…

After Hitach was bought by the Westerns, buying an HDD became a lottery. This screw is no exception. Bought 3-4 years ago with a 3-year warranty. He almost died before the end of the warranty. Thanks to my favorite store, the exchange for exactly the same was painless. And they gave a 3-year warranty on the new one. This year did not work. Thanks to my . Again they changed it to the same one. Well, until recently I believed in HGST. I bring it home, I hook it, and I hear squeaks. Victoria…

The laptop flies (ASUS M50Vn, W7). Its smaller thickness (7 versus 12 mm) was compensated by strips of polyethylene foam with an interference fit of 0.5 mm. Zero vibration. The system starts up 30-40 seconds from scratch, from sleep - do not measure manually. Loading heavy 3D-cads, PDFs, Word, Echel is invisible. Instantly! Almost month. The shock of speed gradually passes (you get used to it). Subsequently, I will gladly consider the 10k option when the prices move up.

I installed it instead of the regular Hitachi (5400 rpm) on a Mac mini 2022. I did not take measurements, but visually the computer became noticeably faster. It's too early to talk about reliability - time will tell. :) Added after 5 months: Time has shown - dead! Bads, solid bads. He died three days before his wife defended his diploma. I handed over to the store, they say they already returned a couple of the same ones.

I bought it to replace a slow and sluggish Toshiba, Hitachi turned out to be 2-3 times faster, and 4 times higher "access time" Toshiba 65.40ms, Hitachi 17.40ms. Test in HD Tune Pro showed Reading: Minimum 65.1 MV/s Maximum 137.6 MV/s Average 105.1 MV/s Access time 16.2 Peak speed 326.5 MB/s So it bypasses many disks and even the WD5000BPKT praised by tests in niks The test was carried out on a laptop, 7x64 wines, and it was jam-packed with various programs and applications, with heaps

He died unexpectedly on New Year's Eve on December 21, 2022, apparently as a "gift", turned into a "rattle", began to knock his heads, although in the operating system it is determined and even enters the first section (the first part of the pancake, separated specially for a toy), but with Trying to enter the second partition, the system hung tightly. I think that in the case of active use, he would have died much earlier! Of the 500 GB, at best, half was used. For comparison, the repaired and
