From the Manufacturer
The Deskstar 5K3000 hard drive provides an enormous capacity up to 3TB
and features innovative CoolSpin technology to deliver a greater level of
power efficiency and quiet operation for energy-conscious,
environmentally-friendly computers. Key to CoolSpin technology is an
optimization of motor speed to provide an ideal balance of performance,
power utilization and acoustics. The CoolSpin technology, along with other
Hitachi power management techniques, gives the Deskstar 5K3000 its 29% power
savings over the Deskstar 7K3000. This new drive is the first Hitachi
CoolSpin hard drive with a 6Gb/s SATA interface. With low power, high
capacity and cool operation, the 3.5-inch Deskstar 5K3000 allows
manufacturers to leverage the benefits of the latest components and
operating systems to deliver more eco-friendly systems.
Less Power, More Performance
The Deskstar 5K3000 hard drive is a 3.5-inch hard drive that provides an
exceptional blend of power efficiency and performance, making it an ideal
solution for power-friendly consumer and commercial desktop computers. This
third-generation 500GB hard drive from Hitachi boosts media transfer rate
performance by as much as 13% over its predecessor. Leveraging
eighth-generation power management technology, as well as power-saving
HiVERT innovations pioneered on the popular 2.5-inch line of notebook hard
drives from Hitachi, this new desktop drive provides up to 29% idle power
savings over the previous model to deliver best-in-class power management
and thermal emissions.
Innovation for a More Sustainable Environment
The Deskstar 5K3000 demonstrates Hitachi's ecological leadership with its
halogen-free design and power-efficient operation. Both these features
helped qualify the drive for the Hitachi EcoTrac classification, which
identifies products that minimize environmental impact in the areas of
product design, manufacturing, operation and disposal.
Power Efficiency Supports ENERGY STAR 5.0
The ENERGY STAR 5.0 specifications released by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) are recognized around the world as a way of
identifying energy-efficient PCs and other computer equipment. PCs that meet
the ENERGY STAR 5.0 criteria are expected to become increasingly popular
with both corporations and consumers. Some corporations are choosing to
purchase ENERGY STAR PCs as part of their green initiatives. The
low power profile of the Deskstar 5K3000 hard drive enables a reduction in
overall system power requirements, which helps PC manufacturers achieve
ENERGY STAR ratings.
Hitachi Quality and Service
All Hitachi hard drives are designed to the highest quality standards
with field-proven components. They are backed by Hitachi's worldwide
technical support and integration services, enabling customers around the
globe to bring their products to market quickly.
