Hitachi Deskstar 7K250 hard
disk drives
Combining Super-Speed with Super-Capacity
Highlights:
- Up to 250GB at 7200 rpm
- Serial-ATA or Parallel-ATA interface
- Industry-leading 8.5ms average seek time
- Lowest power requirements
- Optional low acoustic and power modes
Industry-leading performance
The Hitachi Deskstar 7K250 extends the
company’s long-standing tradition of performance
leadership. This new series of
Deskstar drives incorporates both new
and proven technologies to boost the
performance, capacity, and reliability to
handle a wide range of advanced storage
requirements.
Hitachi's standardized features in desktop
solutions enable fast transfer rates, low
power utilization and quiet acoustics.
These features combine to make the
Deskstar 7K250 ideal not only for standard
PC systems but also for ATA entry-servers,
personal video recorders and other
non-PC computing requirements.
Serial ATA technology
Serial ATA technology provides significant benefits to end-users and storage vendors by supplying a platform that overcomes the limitations of parallel-ATA hard drives. System integration is simplified with:
- Improved point-to-pointinterface
cabling
- Hot-plug connection capability
- Reduced pin count
- Lower voltage signaling
- Smaller connectors and cables
Hitachi quality and service
Hitachi drives are backed by an array of technical support and services, which may include customer and integration assistance.
Hitachi is dedicated to provide a breadth of hard disk drive solutions to satisfy all of today es demanding computing needs.
