New technology exceeds expectations
TravelstarTM 5K160, Hitachi's first hard drive to use perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR),
delivers superior technology and reliability. With capacities up to 160 GB, industry-leading
performance, low-power consumption and excellent shock resistance, Travelstar 5K160
has the key attributes to support the stringent demands of portable computing. Improved
electronics design further reduces the power consumption of this 5400 RPM drive, which
beats its industry-leading predecessor by 10%; the 5K160 also runs cooler than the competi-
tion. Hitachi has also implemented Thermal Fly-height Control (TFC) for improved error rates,
and iridium-manganese-chromium (IrMnCr) read heads for improved reliability. Hitachi has
done extensive testing to verify Travelstar 5K160`s best-in-class standing, making it the
"Super-pendicular Drive."
160, 120, 80, 60 and 40 GB | 5400 RPM
PATA and SATA 1.5 Gb/s Reliability leadership
With the transition to new PMR technology, Travelstar 5K160 demonstrates reliability that
parallels or exceeds 50-year old conventional longitudinal technology. Hitachi has integrated
second-generation PMR head and media technology, along with a new read channel and
IrMnCr read heads. This successful transition required new materials, complex processes,
tools and testing. Hitachi leveraged the depth and breadth of its internal resources to deliver
the most reliable PMR mobile product in the industry.**
