Travelstar 5K160 (SATA) Hard Disk Drive Specification

6.3Reliability

6.3.1Data reliability

Probability of not recovering data is 1 in 1013 bits read ECC implementation

On-the-fly correction performed as a part of read channel function recovers up to 16 symbols of error in 1 sector (1 symbol is 10 bits).

6.3.2Failure prediction (S.M.A.R.T.)

The drive supports Self-monitoring, analysis and reporting technology (S.M.A.R.T.) function. The details are described in section 11.8, "S.M.A.R.T. Function" on page 84 and in Section 13.32, "S.M.A.R.T. Function Set (B0h)" on page 163.

6.3.3Cable noise interference

To avoid any degradation of performance throughput or error when the interface cable is routed on top or comes in contact with the HDA assembly, the drive must be grounded electrically to the system frame by four screws. The common mode noise or voltage level difference between the system frame and power cable ground or AT interface cable ground should be in the allowable level specified in the power requirement section.

6.3.4Service life and usage condition

The drive is designed to be used under the following conditions:

The drive should be operated within specifications of shock, vibration, temperature, humidity, altitude, and magnetic field.

The drive should be protected from ESD.

The breathing hole in the top cover of the drive should not be covered. Force should not be applied to the cover of the drive.

The specified power requirements of the drive should be satisfied.

The drive frame should be grounded electrically to the system through four screws. The drive should be mounted with the recommended screw depth and torque.

The interface physical and electrical requirements of the drive should satisfy ATA-6.

The power-off sequence of the drive should comply with the 6.4.6.2,"Required power-off sequence.”

Service life of the drive is approximately 5 years or 20,000 power on hours, whichever comes first, under the following assumptions:

Less than 333 power on hours per month.

Seeking/Writing/Reading operation is less than 20% of power on hours.

This does not represent any warranty or warranty period. Applicable warranty and warranty period are covered by the purchase agreement.

HTS541640J9SA00, HTS541616J9SA00, HTS541680J9SA00, HTS541612J9SA00, HTS541660J9SA00 specifications

The Hitachi HTS541660J9SA00, HTS541640J9SA00, HTS541616J9SA00, HTS541680J9SA00, and HTS541612J9SA00 are a series of hard disk drives that showcase Hitachi's commitment to high-performance storage solutions. These drives belong to the Travelstar series, which is designed primarily for mobile computing applications, such as laptops and external storage devices. Their compact design and reliable performance make them suitable for users seeking efficient storage in portable settings.

One of the primary features of these drives is their SATA interface, which allows for fast data transfer rates, thereby enhancing overall system performance. The SATA II interface provides a maximum transfer rate of up to 3.0 Gbps, ensuring that these drives can keep up with the demands of modern computing.

The storage capacity of these models varies, with options such as 160GB, 250GB, and 320GB, catering to diverse user needs for both personal and professional use. The HTS541660J9SA00 provides a generous 160GB capacity, while the HTS541680J9SA00 offers up to 320GB, making them suitable for users who require significant storage space for media files, applications, and documents.

In terms of performance, these hard drives boast a rotational speed of 5400 RPM, striking an optimal balance between speed and energy efficiency. This speed ensures relatively quick access times while consuming less power compared to faster 7200 RPM drives, making them ideal for battery-powered devices.

Another significant characteristic of these drives is the use of Hitachi’s Advanced Format technology. This technology increases the physical sector size of the drives to 4KB, enhancing error correction and overall data integrity. This larger sector size allows for greater data efficiency, significantly reducing the overhead associated with data storage.

Furthermore, these drives are designed with Shock Protection technology, which helps to safeguard the drive's internal components from physical shocks caused by accidental drops or bumps. This feature is especially important for mobile storage solutions, where portability can lead to unintentional impacts.

In conclusion, the Hitachi HTS541660J9SA00, HTS541640J9SA00, HTS541616J9SA00, HTS541680J9SA00, and HTS541612J9SA00 hard disk drives are exemplary choices for anyone seeking reliable, efficient, and portable storage solutions. With their combination of adequate capacity, enhanced data management technologies, and robust design, these drives effectively meet the demands of today’s mobile computing needs.
