Inside HGST Touro S 1TB portable HDD

[wwenze]

So $89 dollars (or $85 during IT Show) gets you:

- A HGST 7K1000

Normal SATA version

- A very small USB3 to SATA converter

And yes it works with other drives too. The device manager still identifies it as Touro S.

quite generous i would say, i was expecting a 5000rpm disc

You buy it to salvage the parts to turn your existing SSD into External USB3 SSD?

That's one of the key selling points of the Touro S, costs a bit more than the normal 'Touro'. That should be the one with the 5000rpm disc.

Nope, is to salvage the 7K1000 for internal use. The rest are freebies.

You know this is a 7200rpm 2.5 drive right? Cheapest on lazada never went lower than 80-90 IIRC.

Yup of course i meant 5200rpm .

How many ppl actually need a 7200 for storage and streaming videos?

But the thing is... nobody mentioned anything about storage and streaming videos, or anything about the intended usage at all...

Your comment would have made total sense if it was a recommendation thread for someone asking which 2.5" hdd to buy for storage and streaming videos.

But in the context of this thread is a bit like this:

Someone makes a thread where they mentioned they bought a GTX970 for $400+, now they want to mod it with a waterblock.

Then I go and make a post:

u know can get a gtx960 ard $300 during online sales right?

touro s = 7.2k
