MEMORY UPGRADES

Raising the bar of design

The Travelstar 5K100 is Hitachi’s centerpiece 5400 RPM offering in its comprehensive line-up of 2.5-inch hard drives. With capacities ranging from 100 to 40GB, industry-leading durability, quiet operation and superior power utilization, the 5K100 provides a winning combination of characteristics needed by mobile applications. Added to this is a blazing fast sustained data rate that exceeds other 5400 RPM 2.5-inch choices by up to 48 percent. Hitachi’s unique Enhanced Adaptive Battery Life Extender™ (ABLE) design gives the 5K100 series its leadership in power utilization, enabling the 5K100 to consume as much as 67 percent less power than other drives in its class. Enhancements to the mechanical design establish a new standard in ruggedness with Hitachi doubling the specification for load/unload to an unprecedented 600,000 cycles.

Next generation solutions

The 5K100 series is available with either the Parallel ATA or Serial ATA interface. The native SATA implementation offers throughput at 1.5 Gb/sec and supports Native Command Queuing (NCQ), Hot Plug, Staggered Spin-up, Link Power Management™, and other SATA extension features to meet the design requirements of forward-looking single drive systems as well as advanced multiple drive architectures.

Highlights:

Best in class for low power consumption
• Industry-leading non-op and operating shock
• Industry-leading robustness in both non-op and operating shock
• Unprecedented load/unload durability at 600,000 cycles
• Parallel and Serial ATA interfaces on all models
• RoHS compliant
