Capacity and performance leadership with proven quality
Hitachi Deskstar 120GXP
hard disk drives
Highlights
Provides industry-leading performance at 7,200rpm, 592Mbits/ sec internal transfer rate, and 8.5ms average seek time.These combine to enable leading sustained data rate of up to 48MB/sec
Capacities range from up to 40GB to 120GB.This increases disk capacity by 100 percent over previous generation.
Thermal monitor helps provide accurate data writes and reads over the full system temperature range
Meets PC Design Checklist for Windows® XP
Industry-leading low power
The Deskstar120GXP incorporates both new and proven technologies to boost system performance.This drive provides the capacity and performance to handle a wide range of advanced desktop and audio/video applications.Additionally, features such as low acoustics, low power, and Tagged Command Queuing make this drive ideal for non-PC, high performance, special applications.
Technology for capacity and
performance
Antiferromagnetically-coupled (AFC) media enables higher capacities per square inch of data surface.
Glass disks provide smoother media for the ever-shrinking bit size. Three-disk design provides leading 120GB capacity at 7,200rpm. Specially-designed onboard processor provides faster speeds than the previous generation.
Advanced buffer management bursts data to the system at up to 100MB/sec. Enhanced servo system provides reliable head positioning.
AFC and glass disk technologies enable increased areal density.Thus, the Deskstar provides the necessary capacities using fewer heads and disks, which means fewer components and better reliability.The superior areal density combines with the faster processor and streamlined cache buffer to enable award-winning performance for both the Deskstar and your system. Enhancements to the servo system and thermal monitor help to enable accurate data storage and retrieval.
Deskstar120GXP matches the drive capacity and performance guidelines for Microsoft® Windows® XP—40GB minimum and 7,200rpm.

These combined technologies enable popular capacity points and are also designed to increase reliability. Deskstar drives continue to utilize proven storage technology such as TrueTrack servo and No-ID sector formatting.
