Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000 750GB Hard Drive Product Details

Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000 750GB Hard Drive
An industry first, the Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000 hard disk drive delivers up to 750GB of storage capacity for demanding consumer and commercial computing products. It leverages the industry’s most reliable perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) techniques and the latest advancements in silent acoustics, shock protection, and head technology to maximize capacity, performance and field reliability. Best-in-class power management and thermal emissions help manufacturers meet energy compliance targets and extend drive life.

Proven PMR Technology
Field-proven in 2.5-in. drives, Hitachi’s PMR implementation continues to demonstrate reliability equal to or exceeding conventional longitudinal technology. The Deskstar 7K1000’s second-generation PMR head and media technology improves noise characteristics and thermal stability.

Reduced Power Idle Modes
Unique to Hitachi drives, the Deskstar 7K1000 features three advanced low-power idle modes – active, unload and low-power. Together, they reduce power consumption at the drive level up to 20%, optimize non-operational latency and lower drive temperature for cooler system operation.

This Drive Holds
- 318 two-hour DVD-quality movies or
- 1000 hours of VHS-quality video or

- 276,500 vivid digital photos or

I use this for my workhorse and is preforms nicely. 931GB, 3 hr full format, windows xp sp2 easy to install. I've used up 865GB of this drive with no problems or issues. The cooler you keep this drive, the longer it will last. But everybody knows that.

This is a good and as of the time of this review a reliable drive, I have had it hammering my Solid Works 08 Sp.4 and UG NX5 modeling almost non stop for 2 months. Unlike the idiot below, I know that a drive no matter who makes it is just a piece of electronic hardware with the means to fail at any time. BACK UP YOUR DATA BONEHEAD. The only person you can blame for loosing 500GB of data and lets see ''including some irreplaceable graphic design proofs'' is YOU.

I bought two of these about 6 mos ago and put them in a new media center PC that I built. I used the Antec aluminum coolers (with fans & LCD data screen) at each drive (external drive bays utilized). These drives were not set-up in RAID, but still perform very well for my media needs. They have never went above 38 C and usually remain at 35C all day long with relatively light activity. I haven't experienced any issues with either drive. Best HDs that I've ever owned.
