Hitachi's latest HDD for 24x7 applications

Hitachi Global Storage (HDS) Technologies is offering its customers an
enhanced-availability 7200 RPM hard drive for 24x7 environments. The new
Travelstar E7K60 gives users an industrial-strength 2.5-inch hard drive. It can
take on data-access cycles of blade-server, Internet data center, web hosting,
server pre-processing and telephony applications.

Users can take advantage of the "always on" characteristic of
Hitachi’s new drive to access their data more quickly and readily. They will
also benefit from the E7K60’s more aggressive read/write duty cycle of up to
50%, which represents more than twice the usage cycle of standard mobile drives.

The E7K60’s 2.5-inch footprint provides added benefits to users likeÂ
minimal heat emission for optimal performance, low-power consumption, and small
form factor for compact environments. It weighs 115 grams and is priced at $335.
