Hitachi launch 500GB Mobile hard drive
Travelstar 5K500: World’s Highest Capacity 2.5” Hard Drive
Hitachi have just launched a 500GB 2.5" hard drive. This breakthrough means that a laptop, or external mobile hard drive, now really is on par with all but the biggest desktop hard drive.
Available as a 400GB or 500GB model, the Travelstar 5K500 is also offered in an enhanced-availability (EA) version—the Travelstar E5K500—which is designed for applications requiring 24x7 applications such as blade servers, multi-drive systems, point-of-sale terminals, network routers and video surveillance.
Storage Depot will soon be offering this item bundled with a external hard drive enclosure, giving users massive half terabyte disk, which can fit into a pocket.
