Highest-capacity storage for full-featured notebook PCs
Hitachi is first to introduce a 500 GB, 5400 RPM 2.5-inch hard drive for entertainment power-
house notebooks, sleek desktop PCs, external storage devices and other advanced mobile
applications. TravelstarTM 5K500 uses a three-disk design to deliver up to 500GB of capacity.
This new drive is extremely energy-efficient, with a power profile nearly identical to its 2-disk
predecessor and Travelstar 5K500 performance is the highest among 2.5-inch 5400 RPM
drives in PCMark testing. The 5K500 is well-suited for "slim" desktop PCs delivering high
capacities in space-saving enclosures. Designed to help consumers enjoy their high-definition
movies, music, photos and games on the go, Travelstar 5K500 delivers the features, design
innovations and technologies that enhance the entertainment experience. The 5K500 provides
the advantages of a desktop with the portability of a notebook.
500 & 400 GB | 5400 RPM Technology and design innovation
SATA 3 Gb/s Travelstar 5K500 is Hitachi's fourth-generation mobile drive to use perpendicular magnetic
recording technology to deliver breakthrough capacity and reliability. Today's full-featured
notebooks include premium speakers for enhancing a user's audio experience. These speak-
ers can inadvertently cause vibrations within the system enclosure. To mitigate any adverse
impact on system performance, the Travelstar 5K500 is the first mobile drive to feature Hitachi
patented Rotational Vibration Safeguard (RVS) technology. RVS serves 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 maintain performance.
Data Security Option
Travelstar 5K500 features optional Bulk Data Encryption (BDE) with a 1.5 Gb/s SATA interface
for hard-drive level data security. The data is scrambled using a key as it is written to the disk
