About This Product
The Hitachi Travelstar 5K500.B is a 2.5-inch HDD with 160GB capacity, 5400 RPM, and an 8MB cache. Its SATA 3.0 Gb/s interface offers basic connectivity. This drive is suitable for budget-constrained systems requiring minimal storage, such as older laptops or secondary storage for non-critical data. Performance is significantly slower than modern SSDs and even 7200 RPM HDDs, making it unsuitable for primary OS drives or demanding applications.
Verdict
“Buy for basic, low-cost storage in older systems where speed is not a concern.”
