5400 RPM 8MB Cache
SATA 3.0Gb/s

Travelstar Z5K500 is the second generation 7mm, 5400 RPM 2.5-inch hard drive from Hitachi, with capacities ranging from 250GB to 500GB, and the second generation Advanced Format drive. Advanced Format increases the physical sector size on HDDs from 512 bytes to 4,096 (4K) bytes, which improves drive capacities and error correction capabilities. The 500GB per platter, one-disk models are designed as a direct replacement for standard 9.5mm HDDs, for use in notebook PCs, external storage and gaming consoles, as well as new, thinner and more robust device designs. The Z5K500 carries the EcoTrac classification due to its low-power consumption and eco-friendly, halogen-free production. Travelstar Z5K500 delivers the right balance of capacity, power-management and design flexibility to meet the needs of mobile applications.

HaOsLsE 2/9/2012 8:31:10 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Decent Drive - Works fine Pros: works as expected. I purchased this to replace a failed SANDISK SSD that died from hibernation/sleeping. I had a backup image from the recent swap, so it was easy to put this in and it worked. * Normal Laptop HDD speeds * Normal or less heat than like drives * No noticeable sounds when accessing drives (original drive was much louder) * Great price when caught on sale at $70 * Good Bang for buck per GB * Shipped in small box within Large Box Cons: Price went back up after sale :) Other Thoughts: If you need a drive and want space, this will work just fine. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.
