Superior performance requires no sacrifice

The Hitachi Travelstar™ 7K200 is the Industry’s only third-generation 7200 RPM notebook hard drive. It delivers double the capacity and a 22% performance improvement over its predecessor. At 200GB, Hitachi offers the highest capacity 7200 RPM 2.5-inch product with unmatched performance in PCMark testing. Despite the higher spin speed, the 7K200 offers comparably low power consumption, heat emission and acoustics to its 5400 RPM counter- parts, so users don’t have to trade off battery life or audio quality for high performance. In addition, with its new higher shock specifications, and optional Bulk Data Encryption on specific part numbers, Travelstar 7K200, is designed for the most discriminating notebook users.

Bulk Data Encryption

Travelstar 7K200 is Hitachi’s first hard drive with optional disk level Bulk Data Encryption to help guard against data loss and piracy. This new technology, where data is scrambled using an encryption key as it is written to the disk then descrambled with the key as it’s retrieved, gives users a higher level of data protection than traditional password-based security available today. An additional benefit of Bulk Data Encryption is speeding and simplifying the drive re-deployment process. By deleting the encryption key, the data is rendered unreadable, thereby eliminating the need for data-erasure.

HTS722010K9A300, 13G1583, HTS722080K9A300, HTS722010K9SA00, 7K200 specifications

The Hitachi HTS722010K9A300, HTS722010K9SA00, HTS722012K9A300, HTS722020K9SA00, and HTS722080K9A300 are part of Hitachi's renowned 7200 RPM hard drive series, known for delivering reliability and performance in various computing environments. These drives are particularly designed for desktop, workstation, and enterprise applications, showcasing a range of capacities from 80GB to 200GB.

One of the key features of these models is their 7200 RPM spindle speed, which significantly enhances data access times and overall performance compared to slower 5400 RPM drives. This makes them ideal for users who require high data transfer rates, such as gamers, content creators, and professionals engaged in data-intensive tasks.

The drives utilize the Serial ATA (SATA) interface, specifically versions 1.5 Gbps and 3.0 Gbps, facilitating faster data transfer and improving system responsiveness. The combination of the SATA interface with the higher RPM allows users to experience an optimal balance between speed and storage capacity.

In terms of cache memory, these hard drives are equipped with 8MB of cache. The cache acts as a buffer between the hard drive and the system, allowing for quick retrieval of frequently accessed data. This is particularly beneficial in multitasking scenarios where several applications are running concurrently.

Another characteristic of these drives is their advanced acoustic management features, which help minimize noise levels during operation. This is an important consideration for environments such as home offices or libraries where quiet performance is crucial.

The Hitachi HTS722 series drives also incorporate various technologies aimed at enhancing reliability and durability. These include built-in error recovery features and shock resistance capabilities, which protect data integrity during sudden movements or drops.

Moreover, these hard drives undergo rigorous testing and validation processes during manufacturing, ensuring high levels of quality and performance. The long mean time between failures (MTBF) rating adds to their appeal, indicating a robust design that users can depend on.

In summary, the Hitachi HTS722010K9A300, HTS722010K9SA00, HTS722012K9A300, HTS722020K9SA00, and HTS722080K9A300 hard drives provide a superior storage solution characterized by high speeds, ample capacity, and reliable performance, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
