The Hitachi Travelstar® C3K80 series of

1.8-inch hard disk drives offers up to 80 GB of storage for low-profile, ultra-portable CE devices. It leverages the latest innovations in recording technology, connectivity, power management and shock tolerance to meet the rugged demands of portable use. Its 3600-RPM cycle speed lowers power requirements, extending usage time on a single battery charge in power-critical devices such as digital video cameras, portable media players, handheld GPS navigation devices and more. Ready to integrate into CE designs, the Travelstar C3K80 reduces manufacturers cost and time to market.

Designed for consumer use

Portable consumer devices live a tough life— in pockets, purses, backpacks, briefcases, almost anywhere. They’re dropped on the ground, kicked under the bed and baked in the sun. Naturally, the technology that powers them must be designed for rugged, reliable use and inevitable consumer abuse. The Travelstar C3K80 addresses the most critical requirements of portable CE products, optimizing its features for maximum reliability and consumer enjoyment.

Reliability

Using advanced perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technology, the Travelstar C3K80 improves reliability while increasing drive capacity more than 30% over the previous Travelstar model. Its 40-pin ZIF host connector is more reliable than 50-pin connectors common in notebook drives.

Low power consumption, long play times

The Travelstar C3K80’s 3600-RPM cycle speed contributes to a 20% reduction in power consumption and faster power-onto-ready times than previous models. Power

management features minimize consumption in idle, read and standby modes where the drive spends most of its time. A highly integrated disk controller SoC uses no external buffers, another contributor to low power performance.

Exceptional shock protection

The Travelstar C3K80 delivers industry-leading shock tolerance (600 G/2 ms), in part, through reduced slider size (mass), a femto air-bearing slider design, and the femto suspension.

High-quality audio / ultra-low noise

The Travelstar C3K80 achieves exceptional acoustic performance through fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) motors and optimized seek control. The drive’s sound emissions during idle and seek operations (1.6- and 2.2-bels, resp.) are undetectable by the human ear.

Tailored to manufacturers’ needs

The Travelstar C3K80 simplifies integration into most portable designs, making the manufacturers job easier as well. Widely used in CE devices today, the ZIF connector and flexible host-connection cable offer a choice of mounting schemes. A small
