Hitachi DSCM-11000, DSCM-10512, DSCM-10340 DATASHEET
Increased capacity, portability,
and value
With capacities ranging from 340 MB
to 1 GB on a single hard disk drive,
the Hitachi family of Microdrives provides
high- capacity, cost-effective personal
storage. Weighing only 16 grams, the
Hitachi Microdrive provides outstanding
capacity in a compact, portable pack-
age—a key requirement for today’s
handheld devices.
Higher performance, increased
productivity
With a maximum sustained data rate
exceeding 4 MB/sec, the Hitachi
Microdrive provides a significant perfor-
mance improvement over current flash
memory. As a result, large files can be
transferred very quickly, and users can be
much more productive.
New applications for high-
capacity, compact storage
The Hitachi Microdrive provides break-
through storage capacity for portable
electronic devices in an industry-standard
CF+ Type II form factor. This capacity
enables users of digital cameras to cap-
ture more high-resolution photos without
having to frequently download data. In
addition, handheld PC users can access
more applications and maintain large
databases, while notebook users can
back up and transport their data more
quickly and conveniently.
