Review on Toshiba MQ01ABF050 500GB 2.5" Internal Hard Drive - Enhanced SEO by Arata Kichiro ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Mediocre goods, most likely I will not use.

I got this hard drive as part of an inexpensive HP laptop, and at the moment it has been in use for almost three years, with an operating time of more than 1700 hours. I’ll make a reservation right away that I got a non-defective copy, and it works as it should. The laptop in which this hdd is installed is constantly with me on business trips and vacations, fell from the luggage rack on the plane several times, and everything is ok with the disk, no breakdowns. But the drive itself is very slow and outdated, making an incomprehensible crunch during operation and reducing the overall system performance, hence the overall score of 3 points. As part of an inexpensive laptop / monoblock, it takes place, but I do not recommend it for a separate purchase.

Pros
  • 500 GB volume Inexpensive (if purchased separately) Relative reliability (with a caveat in the comments) Good write speed
Cons
  • The disc creaks and crunches The cache is only 8 mb (competitors have 32-64-128 mb) Low read speed, hence the long system boot General slow performance
