Hitachi Touro Mobile Pro 750GB Portable Hard Drive Review

HD Tune Pro

HD Tune Pro 5.0 is the upgraded version of HD Tune which allows you to benchmark many aspects of a hard drive including write, read, and file performance. It also offers other features such as secure erasing, AAM setting, folder usage view, and disk monitor.

Read Performance Testing

Benchmark Results: The Hitachi Touro Mobile Pro 750GB had an average read speed of 97.4MB/s with a burst speed of 180.1MB/s and an access time of 16.1ms which is very good for an external drive. As expected the read speed had a nice curve from 126 MB/s at the outer platters down to 58 MB/s at the inner ring.

Write Performance Testing

Benchmark Results: The Hitachi Touro Mobile Pro 750GB had an average write speed of 92.7MB/s with a burst speed of 181.0MB/s and an access time of 15.1ms. Again very nice performance and showing the value of a 7200RPM drive on a USB 3.0 connection

File Testing

Benchmark Results: Very good performance in line with the other tests with an average read of 119 MB/s and writes of 110 MB/s
