Hitachi GST Ships One Terabyte Per Platter Hard Drives

Postby duckula » September 6th, 2011, 1:14 am

As the first to ship a multi-disk 1TB hard disk drive (HDD) in 2007, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (Hitachi GST) today announced that is has achieved yet another 1TB milestone by squeezing it on a single disk. Leveraging the company’s strong R&D heritage and time-to-market leadership, the new one terabyte per platter (1TB/platter), one-disk, Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.D drive family is now shipping worldwide. Featured in both Deskstar and CinemaStar brands, Hitachi is providing a full range of capacities, 250GB – 1TB, on both low RPM CoolSpin and 7,200 RPM platforms.

With the addition of the new Deskstar and CinemaStar drives, which are first in a family of 1TB/platter drives, Hitachi continues to offer one of the broadest most reliable product lines for desktop and mobile solutions. For the ultra thin and light notebook market, Hitachi delivers the 7mm z-height Travelstar Z5K500 drives (636 gigabits per square inch “Gb/in²”). And now, ideal for high-performing desktop computers and the consumer electronics (CE) market, Hitachi presents the new 1TB/platter Deskstar and CinemaStar family drives (569 Gb/in²).

The Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.D hard drive family provides the ideal combination of performance, capacity, reliability and value

:lol: Since when have Deathstars been reliable? Although TBH, I don't think anyone makes a reliable HDD anymore. Even Seagate and WD drives don't seem to last that long anymore.
No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the coils backwards! :D

:D I agree. Hard disk drives are not as relible as they used to be nowadays.

Hopefully my current HDDs will last untill they come down a bit.

Nope, I've been seeing A LOT of WD drives die younger than 2 years. Their RA procedure is horrible too, since it costs like $50 to send a few off to Singapore, but seagate let you send them to Sydney, which is only like $5 or so. I prefer to go for seagate if possible, but if I had to score each manufacturer on reliability, it would go something like:

Seagate: 6/10
WD: 5/10
Hitachi & Fujitsu: 4/10
Samsung: 3/10
Toshiba: 1/10

I'd do this:
WD: 8/10
All others: 6/10
