The 6735s battery is available with the 160, 250 or 320 GB hard disks which all run at 5400 rpm. The hard disk in our test model is the Hitachi hard disk with 250 GB. That should give enough room for storage, and the data transfer speed of 50.1 MB/s (average) is a good value. Additionally, the hard disk makes hardly any noise, and, thus, sets a high standard of comfort. The HP Drive Guard, which is provided as an extra feature by the producer, prevents, in the case of a possible system failure, data from getting lost by stopping the read-and-write head.

The optical drive from Samsung has a good response time. It may take a few seconds before the drive starts working with the CD/DVD placed in it's holder. Otherwise, the technical details are pretty much standard. One pleasing additional feature is the Lightscribe function which is a very nice way to label CDs and DVDs.

Thus, HP delivers a laptop which offers balanced performance, and, due to the price, is able to compete.
