Hitachi www.hitachigst.com
Introducing the world’s highest capacity 2.5-inch
mobile hard drive, the half-terabyte (500GB)
Travelstar 5K500. Moreover, the new drives are well-
suited for use in “slim” desktops, where users are
seeking high-capacities in a space-saving, small form
factor enclosure. It is available in either a 400GB or
500GB model, as the fourth-
generation Hitachi mobile drive
to use perpendicular magnetic
recording. The half-terabyte
drives are available with a
3.0Gb/s Serial ATA (SATA)
interface for enhanced system
performance.
They include an array of features,
such Hitachi-patented Rotational Vibration Safeguard
(RVS) technology. RVS is designed for today’s full-
featured notebooks that commonly include premium
speakers. These speakers however, can inadvertently
cause vibrations within the system enclosure. To
mitigate any adverse impact on system performance,
the drive uses RVS as an “early warning” system for
the drive, enabling it to sense a possible disturbance in
advance and take the necessary steps to stabilize the
drive head and avoid any disruptions. Additionally it
drives features 400Gs of shock protection to further
safeguard user data from falls, bumps and rough
handling.
The drives also feature optional Bulk Data Encryption
(BDE) for hard drive level data security. Previously,
data on a hard drive could be protected either
through software-based encryption or a system-level
password. However, hard-drive level encryption
provides improved performance and a higher level of
security than any of the previously available options.
BDE models ship exclusively with a 1.5Gb/s SATA
interface. The drives will be available by the end of
the second quarter, 2008.
