High-performance mobile storage without sacrificing capacity or power The Travelstar 7K320 is the industry's only fourth-generation 7200 RPM 2.5-inch hard drive, offering capacities ranging from 80GB to 320GB. With its 160GB per platter one- and two-disk models, it delivers 60% higher capacity and 12% better application performance than its predecessor. This makes it the perfect choice for multi-tasking commercial users and consumers on-the-go who require speed without sacrificing battery life, capacity, or audio quality. Data security option The Travelstar 7K320 also offers optional Bulk Data Encryption (BDE) with a SATA 1.5Gb/s interface for enhanced data security. This feature scrambles data using a key as it is written to the disk, and then descrambles it with the key when retrieved. This provides a higher level of data protection compared to traditional password-based security. Additionally, the encryption key can be deleted to render the data unreadable, making the drive re-deployment process faster and simpler. Enhanced Availability (EA) for 24x7 access to data For data-intensive applications that require around-the-clock operation, Hitachi offers enhanced-availability models of the Travelstar 7K320. These models use specific microcode to provide 24x7 access to data, making them suitable for always-on environments. With high performance, capacity, durability, and power utilization, the 7K320 is a reliable choice for demanding applications.
