The high cost of SSD drives makes it necessary to look for other ways of developing information storage devices. So a new type of product was created - thin and ultra-thin HDD. The series of hard drives WD Black Mobile, Seagate Laptop Thin, Toshiba L200 have become an affordable alternative to SSD, because they have a significantly lower cost, as well as high speed and small dimensions. Manufacturers continue to improve these lines of compact hard drives by developing proven technologies and introducing new and effective ways to improve performance.
We've compiled a list of the best laptop hard drives based on expert opinions and customer reviews. Our recommendations will help you make the best choice for your requirements and desires. There are many competitors on the world market for equipment, but we have selected the best manufacturers and recommend paying special attention to them:
- Western digital
- Seagate
- Toshiba

Speed: 7200 rpm
The main advantages
- The disc is equipped with a dual-core processor, which increases processing power and improves read and write speeds
- Processing information is faster because it uses dynamic caching technology - a WD exclusive
- The disk design uses only one 500 GB magnetic plate, which increases the reliability of the device and significantly reduces noise during operation
- NoTouch technology - a technique for parking the magnetic heads - reduces wear and increases durability. The plate and recording heads are protected from contact during operation and during transportation
- High standards of the WD quality control system ensure uninterrupted operation for five years

Speed: 7200 rpm
The main advantages
- The body is made of durable aluminum alloy, as well as additional damping elements, provide high dynamic resistance: during operation 400G / 2ms, during storage 1000G / 2ms
- Average seek time of 11 ms - significantly less than similar devices from other manufacturers
- High level of reliability and low noise level is achieved through the use of proprietary Seagate SoftSonic drive with hydrodynamic bearings
- 3D Defense manages HDD: finds cost-effective ways to execute commands, predicts and prevents potential errors
- SeaTools is a well-known diagnostic program, but Disk Repair is only available to Seagate owners

The main advantages
- The housing made of durable aluminum and high air density inside the device predetermine a good coefficient of external protection of the hard drive from physical impact, along with its compact size
- Proprietary Acronis TI software enables full device management at a low level, including creating copies of operating systems, cloning partitions, and so on.
- Fixed shaft motor extends the life of readheads when parked regularly
- 128MB buffer memory guarantees near-instantaneous processing of the most frequently used data on disk
- The proprietary nodal design of the device reduces the noise level during operation to 23-24 dB
Volume: up to 500 GB

Speed: 5400 rpm
The main advantages
- The proprietary DCT buffer memory system provides intelligent management of this resource and increases the speed of work with frequently used data
- An internal sensor of abnormal physical influences on the device regulates the emergency parking of the heads in order to protect the recorded data
- Automatic transport mode when the hard disk is disconnected ensures that the elements of the reading system do not accidentally touch the inner plates
- An efficient heat dissipation system predetermines a wide range of nominal operating temperatures of the device up to 65 degrees Celsius
- The proprietary layout of internal elements provides a low noise level during idle time and operation in the range of 19-21 dB
