Hitachi GST Travelstar 5K100 HTS541010G9AT00 (13G1591) 100GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 2.5″ Notebook Hard Drive Bare Drive

The Hitachi Travelstar series of hard drives is a solid industry leader in performance and reliability. The 5K100 100GB model is a second-generation wonder that offers extreme data throughput, thanks to a lively 5400rpm spindle speed, but that sizzle doesn’t translate to waste heat because the 5K100 uses sufficiently less power than other drives that the extra heat isn’t generated to begin with! Hitachi’s own battery life extender technology, a power management suite allowing you to extend battery life and power consumption, keeps things calm and quiet, too, with a low power idle of less than a watt.

Like all notebook drives, this rugged road warrior is capable of handling the thumps and bumps of everyday use, thanks to an actuator/suspension system which allows the drive to resist up to 300Gs of operating shock, 1,000Gs of non-operating shock, and over 600,000 load/unload cycles. The drive is RoHS (Restriction of certain Hazardous Substances) compliant, as part of Hitachi’s environmental conservation initiative. The Travelstar 5K100 100GB drive is a true winner!
