Deskstar T7K250 Review
IT Reviews (UK)
"The new 7TK250 is fast, cheap, quiet and cool. It represents superb value for money, and while 250GB isn't especially capacious these days, you could stick three of them in your PC for less than the cost of a single 500GB drive from a different manufacturer."

Deskstar 7K500 Review
Storagereview.com
"When it comes to single-user applications, whether productivity, video- and sound-editing, or games, the 7K500 is easily the fastest 7,200 RPM SATA drive one can buy. In all five of our non-server tests, the Deskstar bests the Western Digital Caviar RE2, a drive that just a few weeks ago enjoyed its own run at blowing away the opposition."

Deskstar 7K500 Review
Treadlayers.com
"Simply amazing. It is like getting a 3-item combo plate with everything that you actually want, at a price of a basic rice bowl. It has crazy fast speed, cool and quiet operation, and most of all (literally), just nearly limitless space. For half a terabyte, the price is good. Warranty is a commendable 3 years, and so is HGST support. This was no disappointment."

Deskstar 7K500 Wins Maximum PC's "Kick Ass" Award
Maximum PC Magazine
"This new Hitachi drive spanks the Maxy in our real-world benchmark, and is 200GB larger to boot. The WD Raptor is also extinct, as far as we’re concerned, given its comparatively puny capacity and middling performance. Hitachi definitely brought its A-game to the Lab this time...."

TravelStar 7K100 Hard Drive Review
NotebookReview.com
"In regular, day-to-day use, I've found the Hitachi to be in every way an improvement. My system feels snappier and more responsive, and gaming has been substantially improved.
For multimedia junkies, you'll find that there's no substitute for a 7200RPM drive. The other film students like me, or even the more casual armchair video editors are going to see an improvement switching to this drive as your video editing software of choice has a much easier time streaming video.
Gamers are going to see better loading times and smoother gameplay. In order to provide an uninterrupted gaming experience, games tend to stream data off of the hard drive whenever possible, and if you're on a slow hard drive, you can see stuttering similar to what I experienced in the simultaneously undemanding and exceedingly demanding World of Warcraft. A much faster drive will definitely improve experiences there as well."

Travelstar 7K60, 5K80 and 4K80
Laptop Logic Magazine
"As expected, increasing hard drive spindle speed decreases load times and file copy times by large margins. Going from the slowest 4200RPM drive to the fastest 7200RPM drive would increase hard drive performance anywhere from 12.5% to an astounding 88%. And best of all, our tests show that there is only a negligible increase in power consumption, noise, and heat."

Hitachi's New 100 GB Laptop Drive: Fast, Massive, and Ready To Rumble
"The near silent operation, increased battery life, faster seek times and overall performance (not to mention the extra capacity) gained over the factory drive is well worth the price. Hitachi has done well since taking over from IBM and if the 5K100 is any indication of things to come I expect the Travelstar line to have a bright future."
