Hitachi Global Storage Technolgy released the Deskstar 7K3000 series of hard disks drives offering capacities of up to 3TB.

The Deskstar 7K3000 is Hitachi's first hard drive to deliver three terabytes of storage capacity and 7200 RPM performance in a standard 3.5-inch form factor. The 7K3000 is also the first Hitachi hard drive with a 6Gb/s SATA interface, which along with its 64MB cache buffer delivers a big boost to performance over the previous generation product.

Deskstar 7K3000 is also available in 2TB and 1.5TB models that accommodate existing systems, as well as new designs.

Leveraging eighth-generation power management technology, including power-saving innovations like HiVERT technology, this drive delivers high power efficiency and thermal emissions.
