  Overview     General specifications  

80GB and 40GB |   7200 RPM  | ATA 133 and Serial ATA 3.0Gb/s

High performance. Low cost-per-megabyte. 3.5-inch drives for the desktop and beyond.

Highlights:

  • SATA 3.0 Gb/s and Native Command Queuing for maximum data speeds
  • 80 GB and 40 GB capacities with either Serial ATA or Parallel ATA interface
  • ECC and CRC protection within drive circuitry
  • Low-power design reduces system costs and drives high reliability
  • Quiet operating modes for easy integration into noise sensitive environments

Why Serial ATA 3.0Gb/s?
The newly approved SATA specification has standardized three important features:

> 3.0 Gb/s (300 MB/s) interface data rate
> NCQ (native command queuing)
> Staggered (delayed) spin-up

The 7K80 provides all of these enhancements to enable faster data access and better power management to the system. The drive is also backward compatible for those wishing to upgrade their storage of SATA 1.0 systems.

A/V Streaming Feature Set

The Deskstar 7K80 is the second generation Deskstar drive to enable the host system to optimize storage of data. This is achieved by Hitachi’s “Smooth Stream” technology which gives the host control over the drive’s error recovery process. This important ATA-7 Standards feature fine tunes the Deskstar to capture long audio or video data streams.

Applications

> Traditional PCs
> ATA servers
> PC gaming
> Video surveillance
> Disk to disk backup and recovery
> Media storage (DVR)
> Industrial automation
