Travelstar 7K100 100GB!!
COOL! Hitachi is shipping a 7200 RPM 100 gigabyte notebook drive. I can't find it for sale online yet, but Dell is now shipping it in their XPS 2 gaming laptop - those guys seem to get all the cool stuff first. From Hitachi's web site:
- 100GB maximum capacity
- Industry's only second-generation 7200RPM hard drive
- Desktop-like performance in a mobile drive
- Power requirements similar to 5400RPM products
- 50% improvement in operational shock tolerance
- Supports both Parallel & Serial ATA 1.5Gb/s interfaces
For the longest time, there was only the 60gb 7,200 RPM drive. That was fine at first as that was also the size of the largest laptop drive, but then slowly, bigger drives came out - 80gb, then 100gb, but only at 5,400 RPM. And having had a 7,200 RPM drive for almost 2 years now, I couldn't go back - it is so much faster. Finally, finally finally, 100gb at 7,200 RPM!!!! Whoo hooo!
