HGST Travelstar 7K1000 2.5-Inch 1TB SATA 3.0 HDD

To no real surprise given the specifications on each of the HDDs, the new HGST HTS721010A9 was the fastest and only being outdone by the Samsung solid-state drive.

The HGST HTS721010A9 overall appears like a nice 2.5-inch HDD for those in need of 1TB of storage where it makes more economic sense than going for an SSD. This HGST Travelstar sells for just under $80 USD.
