- Very high read rate
- energy-saving
- quite loud
- Writing weaknesses
Toshiba's first 3.5-inch hard drive leaves an ambivalent impression: In the test, the DT01ACA100 model impresses with very high read rates, but only achieves satisfactory write rates. The same applies to the average and maximum access times. The power consumption is low, but the operating noise is too high under load...

- High performance
- Favourable price
- Quiet operation possible
The hard drive is not only very inexpensive, but also offers a good data rate in its class with a fairly short access time. Although it is not particularly quiet at work, it has a top price-performance ratio to offer. There are no major weaknesses here.

- Very high read rate
- low power consumption
- Short average access times
- favourable gigabyte price
- Comparatively loud
- mediocre write rate
The 3.5-inch hard drive delivers a very high read rate with low power consumption. In addition, the Toshiba device is very affordable and achieves sufficient access times. However, the write rate is only average and the device is noisy in operation.
