TOSHIBA MQ01ABD075

The Toshiba MQ01ABD075 is a hard drive with a capacity of 750 GB. The HDD relies on the outdated SATA II interface for data transfer (peak throughput: 300 MB/s).

Notebookcheck says:

... Unfortunately, we cannot give the Toshiba MQ01ABD075 (750 GB, 5400 rpm) a good grade when compared with other, modern HDDs. Only 86 MB/s in sequential read is no longer adequate. The average is over 100 MB/s here, achieved by the same drive in HP's Pavilion 17-e126sg as well as both comparison laptops. We can confirm that the drive does a better job with reading small, random data blocks (4k). The achieved rate is just above the average of comparable HDDs. The single test 4K QD32 Read involves reading exactly those small data blocks with multiple simultaneous tasks, which is to simulate loading programs and booting the operating system. The accomplished 0.78 MB/s are again 16% below the average here - Toshiba Satellite Pro C70 Laptop Review, 2014

... CrystalDiskMark reports a read rate of 112 MB/s. HD Tune displays an average transfer rate of 94.3 MB/s. These are very good values for a 5400 rpm hard drive, which usually achieve about 83-86 MB/s in HD Tune. The hard drive's 4k-read/write rates are also high. Finally, the drive deserves praise for its low access time of 16.6 ms - Toshiba Satellite M50D Laptop Review, 2014
