Driving technology for today’s
mobile hard disk drives

The Hitachi Travelstar 4K80 series is a

9.5mm high, 4200 RPM, 2.5-inch mobile

hard disk drive ideal for today’s business

needs. The Travelstar 4K80 brings a new

generation of 4200 RPM mobile solutions

to the long legacy of the Travelstar family of

hard disk drives.

This next generation of mobile hard disk

drives provides a design which combines

years of research and development with

award-winning technology including;

Giant Magnetoresistive (GMR) heads, Fluid

Dynamic Bearing (FDB) motor technology,

Partial Response Maximum Likelihood

(PRML) digital channel, head load/unload

technology, and an ATA/100 interface. With

this design, the Travelstar 4K80 provides

the storage capacity, performance, power

management, quality and quiet acoustics

required by demanding computing/

application requirements.

Performance, quality and

reliability

Designed to meet the demanding needs

of today’s data-intensive requirements,

the Travelstar 4K80 leverages proven

technologies such as True Track Servo,

which eases system integration, enhances

hard disk drive reliability, and adds robust-

ness against vibration and disk shift, and

S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis and

Reporting) technology which is designed

to enable a hard drive to predict impend-

ing catastrophic failure.

As a result of the award-winning combina-

tion of technology designed into the Hitachi

Travelstar 4K80 series of hard disk drives,

they are suitable for demanding, high-

capacity internet, digital audio and video

editing, video streaming, and real-time mul-

timedia applications - whether users are in

the office or on the road.

Innovation. Capability.

Commitment.

Three reasons why Hitachi Global Storage

Technologies is positioned to inspire and

lead the evolution of storage technologies:

Hitachi quality, support, and service.

The Hitachi Travelstar mobile hard disk

drives share common field-proven com-

ponents to provide manufacturers with

superior quality hard drives backed by

Hitachi warranty and technical support

and services.
