7K1000.D an excellent, reliable, high performing drive, Highly Recommeded!!
I installed this hard drive into my asgard case, found it to be fast and responsive along with an AMD Phenom 965 processor. Although it’s not an SSD, it’s still quite fast. I had to pick between a western digital or a Hitachi, am glad I picked this. There are some excellent features packed into the drive like the idle 18% power saving feature, advanced format and fast seek time. If you visit the Hitachi website you’ll find that there’s lots of software available to download such as the ‘drive fitness test’ which checks the drive for errors and improves performance if necessary and also erases data if needed. It uses the latest SATA 3 interface which means you will need a motherboard and cable that are both SATA 3 certified to achieve full performance.
I've heard news of Hitachi and western digital becoming one brand, as they are both powerful brands they will probably be stronger together.
In terms of price, I don’t think this is too expensive for a 1TB offering similar features.
If you need any more information there is a review of this hard drive on the PC Pro magazine website.
In one sentence: buy this hard drive if you are seeking to get a performance boost, ignore the pricy ones as this one is a better drive.Read full review...
First class, value for money, hard drive.
I bought this item because I was building a new computer & I needed a new HDD. It was by far the cheapest unit available on eBay, or anywhere else for that matter at the higher end specification. It works perfectly with no problem or compromise.Read full review...
Quick and a lot of storage for £50.
Chosen because this model is on the PC Pro magazine "A List" of outstanding, best-of-breed products.
