Hitachi’s Deskstar range has been around for years and we’ve seen the drives in countless PCs. This 1TB model may not find a place in every system, however, thanks to the noise it makes. Sequential reads and writes were characterised by an intrusive dr...

The 750GB Hitachi Deskstar appears to offer poor value: it's nearly twice the price per gigabyte of the 640GB drive, for instance, and offers only 110GB of extra storage. Its results in our performance benchmarks, however, went some way to justifying t...
It's expensive, but performance partly justifies the price...

In the event you dont want or need an enormous amount of storage, you can still buy a Deskstar 7K500 between 320GB (£50) and 500GB (£110), so the pricing of the new drives falls in line with the existing products. Thats a pleasant surprise as you u...

We will do some summarizing now. First of all, we can name the fastest 1-terabyte drive in all our tests. It is the WD RE3 (WD1002FBYS). This is the best buy if you prefer maximum performance. But if you don’t like its high price, you can take the W...

From a silencing perspective, the 7K1000 represents a small but important step forward for Hitachi. Acoustically, it still has a long way to go to match the current best of the crop, but its no longer bringing up the rear. And, if the slower performa...
