Hitachi TRAVELSTAR 5K80 60GB ATA6 60GB Ultra-ATA/100 internal hard drive

TRAVELSTAR 5K80 60GB ATA6 2.5IN 5400RPM 8MB 08K0638 NS (PC) The Hitachi Travelstar 5K80 series is a 9.5mm high, 5400 RPM, 2.5-inch mobile hard disk drive ideal for today’s data-intensive 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 combines years of research and development with award-winning technology including; Antiferomagnetically-coupled (AFC) technology“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, performance, 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 fivelayer 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.
