Hitachi 500 Gb Hdds

摘要

Hard drive manufacturers have always focused on increasing the speed and capacity of their products, but now they started making hard-drives efficient on energy consumption. Hitachi too goes "green" with the launch of their 500GB hard-drives both for desktop and mobile users. P7K500 uses the HiVERT technology and also features Advanced Power Management capabilities that results in better power handling during read-write operations and also when the drive is idle. This 500GBpowerefficientdrivehasacache memory of 16MB and features a SATA interface that enables a data transfer rate from drive's buffer to interface at 3 GB/sec. This drive features a 7200 RPM spindle speed, which, when compared to Western Digital's RE2 GreenPower series hard drive, is higher as RE2 had a sub- 7200 RPM speed to conserve on power consumption.
