About this product
The Hitachi HUA722020ALA331 is a 2TB internal hard drive from the Ultrastar product line. This 3.5-inch HDD features a fast 7200 RPM rotation speed and a 32MB cache, making it suitable for demanding desktop PC and Mac applications. It utilizes a SATA interface with a 3Gb/s transfer rate. The drive is designed for reliable performance in desktop environments.
Our take
This Hitachi Ultrastar drive offers a robust 2TB of storage for desktop users. As a 7200 RPM HDD with a 32MB cache, it provides a respectable level of performance for traditional hard drives, suitable for storing large files, games, or media libraries. The 3.5-inch form factor means it's primarily for desktop towers. It's worth noting the 3Gb/s SATA transfer rate, which is older than the 6Gb/s found in newer SATA III drives, meaning it might not achieve the maximum theoretical speeds of a modern interface. However, for bulk storage and general use, it's a dependable option.
