Our Rating
At 12.5mm high, the MHZ2400BT is a little thicker than the other 2½ drives.
This provides room for three platters rather than the usual two, but also means that it's too bulky to fit in some laptops. Check how much room you have inside your computer before you buy.
There's little point in checking your laptop's drive bay size, though, because the MHZ2400BT is slow and overpriced. With its 4,200rpm spin speed, it produced the slowest results in all our performance tests. Its speeds of 38.9MB/s to read large files and 36MB/s for small files are barely half those of Western Digital's Scorpio Blue, which also has a larger capacity and costs less.
This is the second most expensive 2½in disk on test, but does little to justify it. Its 0.5W power consumption when idle is marginally the lowest here, but that's not enough to make up for the poor performance, high price per gigabyte and bulky design.
