Bigger storage for new desktop systems

The Deskstar™ 7K4000 offers the industry’s highest hard drive capacity at an enormous four terabytes of storage with 7200 RPM performance in a standard 3.5-inch form factor. This drive uses Advanced Format, which increases the sector size on HDDs from 512 bytes to 4096 (4K) bytes, thereby increasing capacities and improving error correcting capabilities. Consult the Hitachi Advanced Format Technology Brief for more information. The 7K4000 also boasts a 6Gb/s SATA interface and 64MB cache buffer to balance performance and capacity. The Deskstar 7K4000 is designed to help manufacturers deliver high-performance,

high-capacity, power-efcient systems. Manufacturers planning to use the 4TB drive in

systems should consult the Hitachi High Capacity Technology Brief.

4TB | 7200 RPM

SATA 6Gb/s

Balanced performance, capacity and energy efﬁciency

The Deskstar 7K4000 delivers an extraordinary blend of capacity, performance and power

efciency. This model will ship with 64MB cache buffer and 6Gb/s SATA interface, making

it an ideal storage platform for desktop computing. Leveraging support for Extended Power Conditions and eighth-generation power management technology, including power-saving

innovations like HiVERT™ technology, this drive delivers excellent power efciency and

thermal emissions to help manufacturers meet energy compliance targets and extend drive life.

Eco-friendly storage

The Deskstar 7K4000 demonstrates Hitachi ecological leadership with its halogen-free

design and power-efcient operation. Both of these features helped qualify the drive for the Hitachi EcoTrac classication, which identies products that minimize environmental impact

in the areas of product design, manufacturing, operation and disposal.

One GB is equal to one billion bytes and one TB equals 1,000GB (one trillion bytes) when referring to hard drive capacity. Accessible capacity

will vary from the stated capacity due to formatting and partitioning of the hard drive, the computer’s operating system, and other factors. 2
