Hitachi Deskstar 180GXP hard
disk drives
Performance leadership
for data-intensive applications
Highlights:
- Three-disk design provides
higher capacity with 180GB at 7200rpm performance
- The 8MB buffer enables faster
data processing, especially for long block transfers.
- Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB)
motors enhance idle and operating acoustic operation
- Thermal monitor helps provide
accurate data read/write over the full system temperature range
- Differential read channel
enhances data reliability
The Hitachi Deskstar 180GXP continues the award-winning
tradition of the Deskstar family. The new family of drives incorporates both
new and proven technologies to boost system performance. The Deskstar 180GXP
provides the capacity and performance required to handle a wide range of
advanced desktop and audio/video applications.
Hitachi has standardized features in their desktop
drives to supply lower acoustics, faster transfer rates and low-power utilization
to make the Deskstar 180GXP drive ideal for non-PC, high-performance computing
requirements.
Technology for capacity and performance
Three-disk design provides
a higher capacity with 180GB at 7200rpm performance.
Specially-designed onboard
processor provides faster speeds than the previous generation.
Tagged Command Queuing (TCQ)
brings SCSI-like performance to ATA server applications.
Enhanced servo system provides
fast, reliable head positioning.
The superior areal density combines with the faster
processor and streamlined cache buffer to enable award-winning performance
for both the Deskstar hard drive and your system. Enhancements to the servo
system and thermal monitor help to enable accurate data storage and retrieval.
Combined together, these technologies enable popular
capacity points and are designed to increase reliability.

Fluid Dynamic Bearing motors provide improved acoustics
over traditional ball bearing spindle motors. FDB motors will continue to
be used more frequently in hard disk drive designs, particularly in applications
requiring very high spindle speeds, high areal densities, and low acoustic
noise.
The Hitachi Deskstar 180GXP matches the drive capacity
and performance guidelines for Microsoft Windows XP- (40GB minimum and 7200rpm
performance).
