Larger and faster than the stock MacBook hard drive, cheaper than an Apple upgrade
Slightly noisier than the stock upgrade Min specs: 320GB capacity 2.5in hard disk drive; SATA 3Gb/s; 1.8W read/write power; 0.2W standby; 16MB data buffer; 4.2ms latency 12ms average seek time; 25dB idle; 28dB seek; 70x100x9.5mm; 115g
Exchanging the original 5400rpm hard disk with the Hitachi 7200rpm drive introduced a clear and measurable increase in system performance. The trade-off is a slight increase in disk noise and vibration, but this should only be apparent in quiet condit...
Abstract: The TravelStar 7K320 is one of two 2½in disks in this test with a spin speed of 7,200rpm, which should give a boost to performance compared to the 5,400rpm disks. This advantage comes at a price, though, both in terms of cash - the 7K320 costs £16 m...

Not as much storage space as some 4200/5400rpm drives, yet!, Not as fast seek time as 7k200, Marginal CPU utilization performance
The need to sacrifice speed for space or vice-versa is gone with the advent of these modern mobile HDDs. The Hitachi 7k320 performs every bit as well if not better than its 200GB cousin, not even flinching under the weight of its industry leading 320GB...
Abstract: he data sheet specifies a 1.0 W active idle power, which equals exactly the 1.00 W we measured. It also mentions a performance idle state, but we found it more interesting to look at low power idle, where Hitachi states a 0.8 W power requirement. We had the drive idle for 10 minutes to verify this number, and we measured an idle power requirement of 0.84 W...
320 GB ist als Massenspeicher in Notebooks mittlerweile kein Luxus mehr. Sogar Einsteigermodelle um 500 € bieten dieses Ausstattungsmerkmal. Trotzdem sind es nur eine handvoll Modell, die mit einer Rotationsgeschwindigkeit von 7200 U/min arbeiten. A...
