An Excellent Investment! Review of Hitachi GD 2500 by thomed Advantages: Very fast, great for movies Disadvantages: None to speak of! ...... Read review Ciao members have rated this review on average helpful		helpful 10.07.2000
Fantastic Product Review of Hitachi DeskStar 7K250 120 GB by r0sco1 Advantages: Perfect Disadvantages: None ...Excellent Hard Drive. I used to have a Maxtor 40Gb hard drive and after getting broadband I realised I needed much more capacity. I decided to go for an Hitachi/IBM Drive because I work in IT industry and I am particularly involved in mainframes and I am aware that Hitachi are extremely rigorous when it comes to releasing new drives, for a new type of drive to be released by Hitachi it has to survive in a mainframe environment. Hitachi has an extremely good reliability rate at mainframe level. Hitachi have used the latest technology to ensure that their drives maintain good reliability like a Head Load/Unload system which means that the drive will not wear itself out when not in operation. In comparison to other 7200rpm drives the Deskstar come out on top in terms of its seek time, which allows faster access to data. It also...

Closer to perfection Review of Hitachi TravelStar 7K200 200 GB by andyar85 Advantages: High speed transfer, power consumption low, quiet Disadvantages: usual HDD shock issues ...The Hitachi TravelStar is the newly developed model from Hitachi Co. specifically designed for notebooks. It varies in storage capacity, but the important factors are: the rotation speed of 7200 RPM, S-ATA 1.5 GB/s interface, and what Hitachi says "a 22% performance increase". Let's see what are the improvements: -Having tested the model you get a random access time of 14ms which is extremely faster than it's predecessor and it's competitors; -A Sequential Transfer rate of 71.5 MB/s (let me say wow-it's very fast) -It's almost noiseless, you get a 42dB/A idle noise at 3mm distance from the HDD; -and it's power consumption was reduced(in full load it uses 3W and in idle mode only 1.1W), which means it is very economical. -the price is in reach; I think this motivates you in at least trying one...
