Turn up the heat

Hitachi delivers a 50-percent storage capacity increase in its line of “extreme” hard disk drives. The Endurstar™ J4K30 and Endurastar N4K30 are both offered in capacities of up to 30GB, and are designed specifically to perform in extreme temperature environments. With an operating temperature range as wide as -20°C to +85°C, the new Endurastar models are built to perform in the harshest environments—from the desert heat to the Antarctic chill.

Ideal for automotive applications

Endurastar hard drives are the preferred solution for automotive applications or other environments which require high robustness and wider operating temperatures than standard hard drive applications. In fact, the Endurastar J4K30 is already being used in car entertainment and navigation applications—and 30GBs of storage means users can store more than 5,000 audio files, four hours of MPEG2 video and enough navigation data to cover the entire planet!

DATA SHEET

Reliability and performance

The new Endurastar models feature glass media and load/unload technology in addition to shock sensor technology which cushions the drive in less than ideal shock or vibration conditions. Endurastar drives incorporate fluid dynamic bearings (FDB) in the spindle motor, allowing the same quiet operations and improved shock characteristics as with PC models, but offers even higher reliability for automotive environments and around-the-clock applications in industrial environments. These features enable the Endurastar drives to achieve a non-operating shock tolerance of 800G/1ms and an operating shock tolerance of 250G/2ms.
