The Hitachi announces Travelstar 5K500, the 500 GB hard drive for laptops.
is the largest unit capacity built so far in a 2.5-inch drive. It is expected that the first computer with this hard drive, hits the market in February this year, Taiwanese company Asustek announces that use two such units to create the first laptop with 1 terabyte capacity.
one year ago was available in capacities of 1 terabyte desktop computers or external storage systems.
According Hitachi, this drive is capable of storing 500 hours of digital video, 250 games, 125 000 4 minute songs, etc. Currently
larger hard disk capacity in the market for laptops is 320 GB, Western Digital Corp.
However it seems that this hard disk is larger (higher) than current hard drives, which not permit could be installed in laptops made so far and we must also take into account that seems to have sacrificed speed (hard disk spins at lower revs per minute) for the benefit of storage.
