Example:

HDT725050VLA360 = 500GB/16MB

H= Hitachi D = Deskstar

T = Two- or three-disk 72 = 7200 RPM

50 = full capacity = 500GB

50 = model capacity = 500GB

(40 = 400GB, 32 = 320GB, 25 = 250GB) V = generation code

L = 1-inch form factor

A3 = SATA 3.0 Gb/s (AT = Parallel ATA)

6 = 16 buffer (8 = 8M buffer)
