I’ve had a Hitachi Travelstar in my old laptop for years, and while it’s not as fast as SSDs, it’s definitely been reliable. I’ve had to deal with slow read/write speeds, but overall, it’s a solid drive for everyday tasks. It’s like playing Sprunki Retake—you know it’s not the fastest, but it gets the job done and has a decent lifespan if you take care of it! Upgrading to an SSD later on was a game-changer for speed, though.
