High-Capacity Storage Paves the Way for New Mobile Platforms

Travelstar 5K750 is a 5400 RPM, 375GB/platter, 2.5-inch hard drive with capacities of 500GB, 640GB and 750GB–ideal for use in notebook PCs, external storage, gaming consoles, and other mobile applications. This standard 9.5mm, two-disk design is HGST’s first to leverage Advanced Format. Advanced Format increases the physical sector size on hard drives from 512 bytes to 4096 (4K) bytes, which increases drive capacities and improves error correction capabilities. The Travelstar 5K750 enables high-capacity, power-efficient systems.

The 5K750 continues to demonstrate HGST’s ecological leadership, with its halogen-free and low-power products, and carries the EcoTrac classification. Travelstar 5K750 delivers the balance of capacity, ruggedness and low-power to meet the needs of consumers and commercial users.

Encryption Option

Travelstar 5K750 is the fifth generation self-encrypting drive (SED) to feature HGST’s Bulk Data Encryption. The SED encrypts data in real time using protected keys, providing users the highest level of data protection available. It also speeds and simplifies drive re-purposing. By deleting the encryption key, the data on the drive is rendered unreadable, thereby eliminating the need for time-consuming data-overwrite.

Enhanced Availability (EA) for 24/7 Access to Data

HGST provides enhanced availability models that allow the Travelstar 5K750 to deliver 24×7 access to data for data-intensive applications requiring round-the-clock operation. The 5K750 provides high capacity, durability and low power utilization on a proven platform for quality and reliability. EA models support the stringent demands of “always-on” applications in lower-transaction environments.

HGST Quality and Service

All HGST hard drives are designed to the highest quality standards with field-proven components. They are backed by HGST’s worldwide technical support and integration services, enabling customers around the globe to bring their products to market quickly.

*One GB is equal to one billion bytes when referring to hard drive capacity. Accessible capacity will vary according to operating environment and formatting.
