Hitachi DeskStar 7K1000 1TB 3.5 inch HDD Review

Date: 2007-05-22  Reviewed by: Shane McGlaun  Manufacturer: Hitachi

9.5/10
I4U Rating

Pros

  • Huge storage capacity
  • Faster than a 10k RPM Raptor in several tests

Cons

  • Expensive

Verdict
After all the testing, I think that even though the Raptor 10k RPM drive I have has a slightly faster random access time, most users will never notice that difference. The huge storage capacity gap between the Raptor and the 7K1000 pushes the DeskStar over the top in a landslide. If you want the biggest, and nearly the fastest drive around the Hitachi DeskStar 7K1000 1TB HDD is where you want to spend your cash.
