Raising the b a r of design
The Hitachi Travelstar E5K100 is designed to be
powered on around-the-clock. With low power
consumption and minimal heat emission, this
5400 rpm drive is the ideal choice for more
demanding data-access applications. The
“always-on” Travelstar E5K100, delivers a
winning combination of characteristics. With
native Serial ATA interface, the E5K100 brings
the advantages of 300G of operating shock,
1000G of non-operating shock, and proven
technology of Hitachi’s Travelstar 2.5" product
line, the Travelstar E5K100 has the fortitude to
win the race.
The Travelstar E5K100 series extends Hitachi’s
broad product line to allow users the fullest
range of choices to suit each application need.
