New technology exceeds expectations
Travelstar™ 5K160, designed for demanding data-access applications, leverages Hitachi’s perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) to deliver superior technology and reliability. Hitachi employs specific microcode to allow the Travelstar E5K160 to deliver 24 x 7 access to data. With capacities up to 160GB, industry-leading performance, low-power consumption and excellent shock resistance, the E5K160 can support the stringent demands of ”always-on” applications in lower transaction environments. The improved electronics design reduces the power consumption of this 5400 RPM drive to 10% below its industry-leading predecessor, and the E5K160 runs cooler than the competition. Hitachi has also implemented Thermal Flyheight Control (TFC) for improved error rates, and iridium-manganese-chromium (IrMnCr) read heads for improved reliability. This combination of attributes enables the Travelstar E5K160 to address the needs for rugged, reliable storage in non-stop environments.
Reliability leadership
With the transition to PMR technology, Travelstar E5K160 demonstrates reliability that parallels or exceeds conventional longitudinal technology.** Hitachi has successfully integrated second-generation PMR head and media technology with a new read channel and IrMnCr read heads by leveraging new materials, complex processes, tools and testing. This, combined with the proven storage technologies of awardwinning Travelstar products, allows Hitachi to deliver high capacity hard drives suitable for around-the-clock applications in small space environments.
** Based on internal stress and reliability testing.
