Superior performance requires no sacrifice

The Hitachi Travelstar™ E7K200 is the Industry’s only third-generation 7200 RPM 2.5-inch hard drive with enhanced availability. It delivers double the capacity and a 22% performance improvement over its predecessor. At 200GB, Hitachi offers the highest capacity 7200 RPM 2.5-inch product with unmatched performance in PCMark testing. Despite the higher spin speed, the E7K200 offers comparably low power consumption, heat emission and acoustics to its 5400 RPM counterparts, thereby helping system makers to support energy conservationsinitiatives without sacrificing performance. In addition, with its new higher shock specifications,Travelstar E7K200 is designed to address the needs for rugged, reliable storage in non-stop environments.

Around-the-clock data operation

Hitachi employs specific microcode to allow the Travelstar E7K200 to deliver 24 x 7 access to data. These models broaden the product line to make it more suitable for data intensive applications requiring round-the-clock operation. Travelstar E7K200 provides leadership capacity, performance, durability and power utilization on a proven platform for quality and reliability. The E7K200 can support the stringent demands of ”always-on” applications in lower transaction environments.
