Record Capacity and Enterprise-Class Reliability The Ultrastar A7K1000 is the perfect solution for high-density storage needs in the enterprise, offering an impressive one terabyte of storage capacity in a standard 3.5-inch form factor. As the third generation design, based on the popular Deskstar E7K500, the Ultrastar A7K1000 continues to set the standard for enterprise-class reliability and performance. Built for Reliability With a unique 5-platter design, Hitachi has relaxed the bit densities to achieve higher reliability. The Ultrastar A7K1000 is built using the industrys most reliable perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) recording heads and media, ensuring that your data is safe and secure. Performance Targeted for the Enterprise The Ultrastar A7K1000 features a 3 Gb/s SATA interface, supporting key features in the Serial-ATA specification including Native Command Queuing (NCQ), staggered spin-up, and hot-swap capability. This allows for configuration scalability and makes it ideal for use in mixed-drive environments. In multi-drive environments, rotational vibration can degrade hard drive performance. To combat this, the Ultrastar A7K1000 incorporates enhanced Rotational Vibration Safeguard (RVS) technology, providing up to 50% improvement over the previous generation against performance degradation. This makes it a leader in the industry for maintaining high performance.
