Designed for mobile computing excellence: industry-leading
capacity and acoustics
Hitachi Travelstar 80GN 2.5-inch
hard disk drive
Highlights
Capacities from 80 to 20GB, 4200rpm, ATA-6 hard disk drive
80GN offers high capacity and high performance in the industry with an 80GB, 9.5mm hard drive.
80GN provides areal densities of up to 70Gbits/sq.inch, yielding up to 40GB of capacity per disk
All models contain Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) motor technology for industry-leading idle and operating
acoustic performance
Travelstar leverages latest laminated Antiferromagnetically-coupled (AFC) media, also known as “pixie dust”
Travelstar provides operational shock rating of up to 200Gs (2ms)
Leading-edge technology
The Hitachi Travelstar 80GN is a 9.5mm
high, 4200 rpm, 2.5-inch mobile hard disk
drive. The Travelstar 80GN brings a 26th
generation addition to the long line of
Travelstar family drives.
The innovative hard drive design
combines AFC Media, Fluid Dynamic
Bearing (FDB) motor technology, Giant
Magnetoresistive (GMR) heads, Partial
Response Maximum Likelihood (PRML)
digital channel, head load/unload tech-
nology, Enhanced Adaptive Batter Life
ExtenderTM (ABLE) 3.0, and an ATA/100
interface. With this design, the Travelstar
80GN provides exceptional quietness,
storage capacity, performance, power
management and quality required by
today’s demanding notebook systems.
The new Travelstar 80GN breaks current
areal density records by allowing up to
70Gbits/ per square inch to be written
on each disk. This was achieved by add-
ing another coating of “Pixie Dust”—or
an additional ruthenium/magnetic layer
to create a five-layer sandwich called
laminated-”Pixie Dust”. These additional
layers bring even higher thermal stability
to the media, allowing data recording
at ultra-high densities while maintaining
data-integrity.
As a result, the HitachiTravelstar drives
are suitable for demanding, high-
capacity Internet, digital audio, video
streaming, and real-time multimedia
applications—whether users
are in the office or on the road.
Performance and reliability
The Hitachi Travelstar 80GN hard drive
uses proven storage technologies such as
TrueTrack Servo, Drive Fitness Test™ (DFT),
Self-Monitoring Analysis, and Reporting
Technology (S.M.A.R.T.), as well as an
adaptive control device that helps maintain
high performance and fast seek times at
high environmental temperatures.
Advanced mobile systems
The Travelstar 40GNX redefined state-
of-the-art storage for mobile computing.
