We didn’t include in the tests versus an SSD because we know it won’t even come close but just for fun, only one to see why SSD are so good. In all the tests the 7k1000 beats it’s 2.5″ brother by 20 – 50% showing that the 7200 RPM and 32 MB buffer is better not only on paper but also in real life than the 5400 RPM and 8 MB combo.Īnd even more interesting it wins against a regular 3.5” also at 7200 but with 16 MB buffer.īoth HD Tune and Crystal Disk Mark prove the above.Ĭan’t hear it even in load and this is where we keep it in our build.Īnd heat-wise, in that position with all these tests we didn’t see it go over 39-40 degrees C.
