Enhanced availability for around-the-clock access to data
Hitachi Travelstar E7K60 2.5-inch
hard disk drives
Highlights
60 GB and 40 GB capacity, 7200 RPM mobile-class hard drive
Small form factor for compact environments
Designed for continuous operation to support 24x7 applications
Supports read/write duty cycles of up to 50 percent
Rugged non-operational shock rating of 1000G/1ms
Industry first…AGAIN!
Introducing the industry’s first enhanced-
availability 7200 RPM mobile-class hard
drive for 24x7 data-ready environments—
Hitachi’s Travelstar E7K60. The combination
of speed and endurance on Hitachi’s
Travelstar E7K60 gives users an industrial-
strength 2.5-inch hard drive to take on
demanding data-access requirements
typical of applications such as network
routers, point-of-sale terminals, blade-
servers, and telephony networking systems.
“Always on” for 24x7 access
Users who require high data availability can
take advantage of the “always-on” char-
acteristic of Hitachi’s Travelstar E7K60. The
drives are designed to allow users to leave it
powered on around-the-clock and supports
a read/write duty cycle of up to 50 per-
cent—more than twice the level supported
on standard mobile drives.
Industry-proven technology
Designed specifically for continuous
operation, the Travelstar E7K60 extends
the Travelstar tradition of delivering perfor-
mance and reliability. The 9.5mm high, 7200
RPM 2.5-inch Travelstar E7K60 provides
added benefits to users, including minimal
heat emission for optimal performance,
low power consumption, and a small form
factor for compact environme nts. The
Hitachi Travelstar E7K60 series of hard disk
drives utilizes proven storage technolo-
gies such as TrueTrack Servo, Drive Fitness
TestTM (DFT), Self-Monitoring Analysis and
Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) to help
maintain high-performance and fast seek
times in always-on environments.
Service & support
Hitachi drives are backed by an array of
technical support and services, which
may include customer and integration
assistance. Hitachi is dedicated to provid-
ing a breadth of hard disk drive solutions to
satisfy all of today ‘s demanding comput-
ing needs.
