Hitachi GST Travelstar 7K100 HTS721080G9AT00 (0A25023) 80GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 2.5" Notebook Hard Drive Bare Drive

The Hitachi Travelstar series of hard drives is a solid industry leader in performance and reliability. The 7K100 80GB model is a second-generation wonder that offers extreme data throughput, thanks to a sizzling 7200rpm spindle speed, but that sizzle doesn’t translate to waste heat because the 7K100 uses sufficiently less power than other drives that the extra heat isn’t generated to begin with! Hitachi’s own battery life extender technology, a power management suite allowing you to extend battery life and power consumption, keeps things calm and quiet, too, with a low power idle of less than a watt.

Like all notebook drives, this rugged road warrior is capable of handling the thumps and bumps of everyday use, thanks to an actuator/suspension system which allows the drive to resist up to 300Gs of operating shock, 1,000Gs of non-operating shock, and over 600,000 load/unload cycles. The drive is RoHS (Restriction of certain Hazardous Substances) compliant, as part of Hitachi's environmental conservation initiative. The Travelstar 7K100 80GB drive is a true winner!
