About this product
The Hitachi HTS721080G9AT00 is an 80GB internal 2.5-inch IDE notebook hard drive, part of the Barracuda product line. It boasts a 7200 RPM rotation speed and features a 16 MB cache. Compatible with laptops and PCs, this drive comes in a gray color. Manufactured in Japan, it includes a 3-month manufacturer warranty and uses an IDE interface, suitable for older laptop systems.
Our take
For those maintaining or restoring older laptops, this Hitachi 80GB IDE drive offers a decent capacity boost over entry-level drives from its time. The 7200 RPM speed is a definite plus for performance, distinguishing it from slower 5400 RPM alternatives, and the 16 MB cache is generous for an IDE drive. However, the IDE interface itself is a significant limitation for modern systems. While 80GB might suffice for basic operating systems and applications, it won't hold much media. The 3-month warranty is quite short for a storage device.
