Raising the bar of design
The Hitachi Travelstar 5K100 series delivers
a winning combination of characteristics.
With the industry’s lowest idle power and
enhancements to the mechanical and electrical
design, this 5400 RPM drive is the ideal choice
for notebook PCs. The Travelstar 5K100,
at100GB, offers the highest capacity in a 2.5"
5400 RPM drive. That, along with 300G of
operating shock and 1000G of non-operating
shock, makes Travelstar 5K100 the best all-
around 2.5” hard drive.
The Travelstar 5K100 is the centerpiece of a new
line-up of strong contenders.
