After a long tug-of-war, the future of IBM's storage division is finally clear: 70% belongs to Hitachi; 30% to IBM. Because of this, the name "Hitachi Global Storage Technology" (HGST) was chosen - or, if you prefer it shorter, then simply "Hitachi." According to Hitachi, the entire production for the year has already been sold out. Naturally, Hitachi is also preparing for Serial ATA, equipping its prototypes with Serial ATA bridges from Marvel. Hitachi's Autodrive made a good impression on us; developed specifically as requested by the automotive industry, this 2.5" drive is suitable for an extended temperature range....

Hitachi's newest hard drive spins at 10,000 rpm. At that time, one of the important competitors did not arrive at our laboratory in time, namely, the hard drive from Hitachi, formerly IBM. We had high expectations concerning the newly founded Hitachi Global Storage Group (HGST), so when we got the drive, we made sure to test it as quickly as possible. The difference lies inside: while the hard drives of Maxtor, Fujitsu and Seagate manage 146 GB with four platters, Hitachi's UltraStar 146Z10 needs six....

T is for Turbo: The Hitachi DeskStar T7K250. t is for turbo. With its redesigned 250 GB model, Hitachi is adding a drive to its product portfolio for both mainstream purchasers and potential upgraders. While hard disk makers are currently unleashing drives with maximum capacities of 320, 400 or even 500 GB, Hitachi is taking a different approach, introducing a new line of models that tops out at a relatively modest 250 GB. As Samsung has proven very recently, the "less is more" approach is not as backward as it may appear at first glance. In any case, Hitachi's DeskStar T7K250 aims to offer buyers looking for an upgrade in the very popular 200 GB segment the best possible cost/performance ratio....

Hitachi has become the first hard drive vendor to offer 500 GB of capacity. With a total storage capacity of half a teraByte, Hitachi breaks through into impressive terrritory without increasing data density on its drive platters. Even though Seagate now offers the highest data densities available at 133 GB per drive platter, Hitachi won the race to deliver the first 400 GB drive, by using more platters with lower data densities. Hitachi used existing 100 GB-per-platter technology to trump its rivals, and literally pulled a fast one by using five platters to hit the half teraByte mark. ...
