Manufacturer's product description

The Hitachi Travelstar 80GN is a 9.5mm high, 4200 rpm, 2.5-inch mobile hard disk drive. The Travelstar 80GN brings a 26th generation addition to the long line of Travelstar family drives. The innovative hard drive design combines AFC Media, Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) motor technology, Giant Magnetoresistive (GMR) heads, Partial Response Maximum Likelihood (PRML) digital channel, head load/unload technology, Enhanced Adaptive Batter Life Extender (ABLE) 3.0, and an ATA/100 interface. With this design, the Travelstar 80GN provides exceptional quietness, storage capacity, performance, power management and quality required by today's demanding notebook systems. The Travelstar 80GN breaks current areal density records by allowing up to 70Gbits/ per square inch to be written on each disk. This was achieved by adding another coating of "Pixie Dust" - or an additional ruthenium/magnetic layer to create a five-layer sandwich called laminated-"Pixie Dust". These additional layers bring even higher thermal stability to the media, allowing data recording at ultra-high densities while maintaining data-integrity. As a result, the Hitachi Travelstar drives are suitable for demanding, high-capacity Internet, digital audio, video streaming, and real-time multimedia applications - whether users are in the office or on the road.

Hitachi TravelStar, What a Star
Review of Hitachi TravelStar 7K100 100 GB by  lowerboscadjack

Advantages: Quite, low power consumption, high capacity
Disadvantages: Expensive

...I have been using a Hitachi TravelStar for a long time now, I have had not problems with it and I have given it a good run for the price I paid for it. I originally started out with the 80gb model of this hard disk. I had absolutely no problems with it. (I now have the 100gb model as the laptop it was in was broken in a car accident). I had the 80gb model for a year and never gave me any trouble. It was: · Fast · Reliable · Quite · Super low power consumption · Had a quick spin up time · Very quick seek time · Standard 5 year warranty · Very helpful warranty/customer support Hitachi's customer warranty claims support is like no other that I have come across before. You go onto there website, fill out a warrant claim form; package the device (hard disk in my case) in the way they require. Once you have sent it to them... Read review

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...

IBM/Hitachi 120Gb HDD
Review of IBM Deskstar 180GXP 120 GB by  bigdavep

Advantages: Great value for money
Disadvantages: Only ATA100

...IBM/Hitachi are very well known for their quality hard drives, well at least up until their 120GXP range which had abnormally high returns rates within a few short months of purchase but thankfully the problems they had with the 120GXP have been ironed out in their 180GXP range. I have had my 120Gb 180GXP for around 5 months now and the only problem I have had with it was last week when it suffered a bad sector that prevented me from booting but was sorted out no problems using Hitachi's Drive Fitness Test utility. I have my hard drive split into 3x40Gb partitions (which I soon regretted due to the amount of data I have). With quick access rates it proves a great drive, especially with its 8Mb of cache and is also fairly quiet which is what most people need these days with them being left running for longer periods of time...
