High-capacity storage paves the way for new mobile platforms Travelstar 5K750 is a 5400 RPM, 375GB/platter, 2.5-inch hard drive with capacities of 500GB, 640GB and 750GB. This standard 9.5mm, two-disk design, intended for use in notebook PCs, external storage, gaming consoles and other mobile applications, is Hitachi’s first to leverage Advanced Format. Advanced Format increases the physical sector size on hard drives from 512 bytes to 4096 (4K) bytes, which increases drive capacities and improves error correction capabilities. The Travelstar 5K750 allows manufacturers to deliver high-capacity, power-efficient systems. Manufacturers can consult the Hitachi Advanced Format Technology Brief for more information on using these hard drives. The 5K750 continues to demonstrate Hitachi’s ecological leadership, with its halogen-free and low-power products, and carries the EcoTrac classification. Travelstar 5K750 delivers the balance of capacity, ruggedness and low-power to meet the needs of consumers and commercial users.
