These innovations, together with eighth generation Advanced Power Management, make the Deskstar 5K the ideal choice for energy efficient PCs that run cooler, require less power and last longer. Both of these features helped qualify the drive for the Hitachi EcoTrac classification, which identifies products that minimize environmental impact in the areas of product design, manufacturing, operation and disposal.

Overall a very well-organized layout on this particular drive. All drives are tested on the StorageReview client testing platform. This put it in the middle of the pack in terms of transfer speed. In our random transfer test the 5K measured Those speeds put it towards the bottom of the pack in read speed, and pretty far under in write speed.
In random 4K transfer conditions the Hitachi 5K measured As a factor of 4K write speeds, our next test measured write latency. We look at both average and peak response times in our 4K transfer test. Using CrystalDiskMark we measured performance from the inner and outer tracks of the 5K, showing fastest and slower performance depending on where data resides on the platters.
The Hitachi 5K stayed towards the middle section of the pack under our mixed workload tests. In this trace we recorded 2,MB being written to the drive and 1,MB being read.
Our next trace covers disk activity in a gaming environment. Unlike the HTPC trace, this one relies heavily on the read performance of a drive. The trace captures the heavy read activity of each game loading from the start, as well as textures as the game progresses.

The Barracuda Green uses 0.
Its acoustic profile is very soft with a benign hissing character. Automatic Acoustic Management AAM is not supported but there is no point, as it only affects seek noise. Acoustically it was slightly louder than the F4, but only when idle. C which only beats it at idle but is encumbered by a significant vibration problem.
They represent a quick snapshot of what we heard during the review. These recordings are intended to give you an idea of how the product sounds in actual use — one meter is a reasonable typical distance between a computer or computer component and your ear.
The recording contains stretches of ambient noise that you can use to judge the relative loudness of the subject. The recordings start with 5 to 10 seconds of ambient noise, then 10 second segments of the drive in the following states: idle, seek with AAM enabled if applicable , and seek with AAM disabled.
C and WD Caviar Blue. With performance close to a RPM drive and the acoustics, power efficiency, and low cost of a classic eco-friendly model, the Hitachi Deskstar 5K 2TB is a compelling jack-of-all-trades drive.
You can save a couple of watts and a decibel or two by going with the venerable WD20EARS, but the 5K is a great value as a quiet, performance drive. C 1TB vs.
