Hitachi deskstar sata driver

Our staff is super friendly and will be glad to answer any questions you may have. This hard drive passed all of these tests and was determined as fully functional but to maintain the quality we retest all the devices before shipping to customers.

Shipping costs vary depending on a variety of factors, from shipment type, weight, and location. Once these variables are calculated during checkout, a carrier will put a price on your shipment. All mentioned carrier services are our primary delivery partners. Optimum Drives ships the most number of orders within 24 hours after the order placement.

The front of the 7K includes the standard SATA power and data connection, with a single jumper section. No mention of the jumper pins are given on the drive cover, although one of the Hitachi service manuals make note that it is used to enable Power-up in Standby. This is primarily used to minimize startup power requirements of a computer as a whole, by allowing the controller to sequence how the drives connected to it are powered up.

Instead of having a handful of drives all spinning up at the same time, the controller can stagger the spin up sequence.

The bottom of the drive is fairly basic, following the design of having the main circuit board components facing inwards. This allows certain parts to shed heat into the drive body for better cooling management as well as preventing components from being knocked off when roughly handled. This test focuses largely on the read performance of a drive. Discuss This Review. Top Posts. Consumer HDD. Key features include a 6.

The 7K we are reviewing today has more platters than the 2TB version so it will likely consume more power than most drives. It is fairly simple to take the Hitachi Deskstar 7K apart with a Torx screwdriver. After removing six T-8 sized screws, the circuit board lifts up easily exposing the underside of the hard drive and a small vibration isolation pad.

Overall a very well-organized layout on this particular drive. High platter density is beneficial in sequential data transfers. The 7K is a five-platter drive featuring a capacity of GB per platter; its high density certainly pays off here. This time using random transfers, we see the 7K dead even with both Western Digitals. High platter density still helps in this test. The 7K still has very good performance for a hard drive regardless, though compared to the top performing drives it shows some weakness.

The 7K holds its own in write latency. Write latency is a great indicator of overall responsiveness; a drive with a lower latency will be able to access information faster.

This benchmark is an indicator of the maximum possible sequential data transfer performance. These are numbers you would see if transferring a large file that is located on the very edge of the disk platters.

This benchmark is similar to the last, except these are the slowest sequential data transfer numbers you can expect to see transferring a large sequential file located on the inside of the disk platters versus the outside; the data transfer rate will always be higher at the edge of the disk platters since they are moving faster.

This next set of benchmarks tests the drive in a server-style workload where there are multiple requests for data at the same time.

The 7K is unfortunately not even a threat to the Western Digital 2TB flagship drives, failing to eclipse them even once. When the request queue reaches 64 and , notice how the Western Digital drives sharply pull ahead and put salt in the wound.

In this trace we recorded 2,MB being written to the drive and 1,MB being read.
