Designed for mobile computing excellence. Industry-leading
capacity, 80GBs at 5400RPMs.
Hitachi Travelstar 5K80 2.5-inch
hard disk drive
Highlights
Capacities range from 20 to 80GB, 5400rpm, ATA-6 hard disk drive
Offers high-capacity and high-performance with an 80GB, 9.5mm
hard drive.
Travelstar 5K80 provides areal densities of up to 70Gbits/sq.inch
Providing operational shock rating of up to 200Gs (2ms)
Driving technology for today’s
mobile hard disk drives
The Hitachi Travelstar 5K80 series is a
9.5mm high, 5400 RPM, 2.5-inch mobile
hard disk drive ideal for today’s data-inten-
sive business needs. The Travelstar 5K80
brings a new generation of 5400 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 com-
bines years of research and development
with award-winning technology including;
Antiferomagnetically-coupled (AFC) tech-
nology “pixie dust”, Giant Magnetoresistive
(GMR) heads, Fluid Dynamic Bearing
(FDB) motor technology, Partial Response
Maximum Likelihood (PRML) digital
channel, head load/unload technology,
Enhanced Adaptive Battery Life ExtenderTM
(ABLE) 3.0, and an ATA/100 interface.
With this design, the Travelstar 5K80
provides the storage capacity, per-
formance, power management, quality
and acoustics required by demanding
computing/application requirements.
The new Travelstar 5K80 reaches areal
densities of up to 70Gbits/ per square
inch written on each disk. This feat was
achieved by adding another layer of “Pixie
Dust”- or in more technical terms, another
ruthenium/magnetic layer to create a five-
layer sandwich called laminated “Pixie
Dust”. These additional layers bring even
higher thermal stability to the media, allow-
ing data recording at ultra-high densities
while maintaining data-integrity.
Performance, quality and
reliability
Designed to meet the demanding needs
of today’s data-intensive requirements, the
Travelstar 5K80 leverages proven technol-
ogies such as True Track Servo, which
eases system integration, enhances hard
disk drive reliability, and adds robustness
against vibration and disk shift, Drive
Fitness TestTM (DFT), and S.M.A.R.T.
(Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting)
technology which is designed to enable
a hard drive to predict impending cata-
strophic failure.
As a result of the award-winning combina-
tion of technology designed into the Hitachi
Travelstar 5K80 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.
