About this product
This is a Hitachi 80GB internal laptop hard drive, model HTS542580K9SA00, with a 2.5-inch form factor. It operates at 5400 RPM and features an 8 MB cache. The drive utilizes a SATA I interface and is compatible with PlayStation 3 consoles, indicated by "(PS3)" in the title. It's noted to have low hours of usage.
Our take
For those seeking a functional replacement for a PlayStation 3 hard drive, this Hitachi 80GB unit is a straightforward choice. The 5400 RPM speed and 8MB cache are typical for its generation, offering reliable, albeit not high-speed, performance. While the 80GB capacity is quite modest for current gaming libraries, it's perfectly adequate for an original PS3 primarily used with physical discs or for basic system operations. The SATA I interface confirms its older specification, but for a legacy console, it's appropriate. The 'low hours' claim is a definite plus for longevity.
