Amazon customer review: "Hitachi HD's always deliver amazing performance, and this Retail Boxed 2.5" 7200RPM 500GB SATA II notebook drive does not disappoint! Using HD Tune Pro 3.50 I charted my example from more than 100MB/sec (Actual 108MB/sec) for the highest speed it reads to a low of just less than 50MB/sec, for an average across the volume of 80.5MB/sec. That makes this HD the fastest 2.5" notebook 7200RPM HD I've ever tested, and I've tested a bunch of them--all good mind you, but this Hitachi 16mb Cache 7200RPM 500GB SATA II HD is simply the King of the Hill @ 80.5MB/sec average speed across the whole volume...just incredible!"
So a very good device for users looking to store a lot of data for mobile applications.
