Hitachi ships 500GB Travelstar 7K500: 7200RPMs in a 2.5-inch form factor

Hitachi ships 500GB Travelstar 7K500: 7200RPMs in a 2.5-inch form factor

"Itching for a speedy and spacious new upgrade for your laptop? Ain't got the cheddar required to pop in a 512GB SSD? Then have a look at Hitachi's latest, a half-terabyte drive that spins at 7200RPMs yet draws just 0.69 watts when idle and 1.8 watts during read / write operations. The Travelstar 7K500 plays nice with the SATA interface and promises 16 percent better application performance than its predecessor, and for the paranoid in attendance, you can rest easy knowing that a BDE (Bulk Data Encryption) option enables users to have each and every byte encrypted as it's written."

Users are getting more choices. Still MichelleG info about the WD-1Tb is still the buzz of the town, if they ever decide to offer the 2.5" form factor of this beast.

cheers ...
