Pros
Cons
1). Lifespan. It was in the laptop for about 2 years, so I took it out and put it in my PC. I wouldn't say it's super slow, I only put it in my PC to save game saves. 2). Noise. I don’t hear it at all, as if it's some kind of SSD. 1). Speed performance is acceptable, but it's suitable for storing all kinds of "stuff" use Hitachi HTS545050A7E680 more than year |
