Hitachi Deskstar® 7K80
HARD DISK DRIVES
Features and Benefits
www.hitachigst.com
The 7K80 provides all of these enhancements to enable faster data access and better
power management to the system. The drive is also backward compatible for those
wishing to upgrade their storage of SATA 1.0 systems.
Hitachi Quality and Service
The Hitachi Deskstar 7K80 extends the company’s long-standing tradition of performance
leadership. Hitachi’s standardized features in desktop solutions enable fast transfer rates,
low power utilization and quiet acoustics.
Hitachi is dedicated to provide a breadth of hard disk drive solutions to satisfy all of
today’s demanding computing needs. Hitachi drives are backed by an array of technical
support and services, which may include customer and integration assistance.
A/V Streaming Feature Set
The Deskstar 7K80 is the second generation
Deskstar drive to enable the host system to
optimize storage of data. This is achieved
by Hitachi’s “Smooth Stream” technology
which gives the host control over the drive’s
error recovery process. This important ATA-7
Standards feature fine tunes the Deskstar to
record and play multiple standard definition
and high definition video streams.
Why Serial ATA 3.0Gb/s?
> 3.0Gb/s (300 MB/s) interface data rate
> NCQ (native command queuing)
> Staggered (delayed spin-up

Hitachi Global Storage Technologies
1GB equals one billion bytes when referring to hard drive capacity; accessible capacity may be less.
2Buffer capacity includes 270 or less KB used for drive firmware.
3Includes command overhead.

How to Read the Model Number
Example:
HDS728040PLAT20 = 40GB/2MB
H= Hitachi
D= Deskstar
S= Standard (or T for Two-disk for example)
72 = 7200 RPM
80 = full capacity = 80GB
40 = model capacity = 40GB
P= generation code
L= 1-inch form factor
AT = ATA (or A3 = SATA 3.0Gb/s)
2= 2MB buffer (or 8 = 8MB)
0= Reserved
