HGST is shipping the first 1TB, 9.5mm, 2.5-inch, 7,200 RPM hard disk drive (HDD) - the new Travelstar HDD.
The new hard disk is available
in the HGST Hard Drive Retail Kit as well as in the
Touro Mobile Pro USB 3.0 external storage
solution for simple add-on storage and backup.
The new hard disks are also available in G-Technology's G-DRIVE mini and
G-RAID mini external storage solutions.
The new Travelstar 1TB, 2.5-inch 7,200 RPM hard drive
is suited for upgrading notebooks, game
consoles, and other
personal storage products. This standard 9.5mm drive
leverages Advanced Format, which increases the physical
sector size from 512 bytes to 4,096 (4K) bytes to
improve drive capacities and error correction
capabilities. With 7,200 RPM performance, 32MB cache
buffer and a 6Gb/SATA interface, the drive delivers the
highest 7,200 RPM mobile HDD performance in PCMark
Vantage benchmark testing. Other highlights include
sixth-generation HDD technology, 1TB capacity,
the industry?s highest shock tolerance, a halogen-free
design for an eco-friendly footprint, and low power
consumption.
The 1TB, 2.5-inch, 7200RPM HGST Travelstar Hard Drive
Retail Kit comes complete with step-by-step
instructions that allows Microsoft, Apple and Linux
systems to tap into the full capacity, power and
performance of the 1TB drive. Now available, the 1TB,
2.5-inch, 7200RPM HGST Hard Drive Retail Kit has an
MSRP of $99.99.
Both Mac and PC compatible, the Touro Mobile Pro
portable external storage solution provides
plug-and-play simplicity and a USB 3.0 interface
and features a smooth black body. Housing the new HGST
Travelstar hard drive, the new 1TB, 7200RPM-based Touro
Mobile Pro offers massive storage
capacity. In addition, the Touro Mobile Pro solution
provides two levels of protection with 3GB of free
cloud storage from TouroCloudBackup.com. With local and
cloud backup, files are
not only safe but available anytime, anywhere from any
smartphone or web browser. The 1TB Touro Mobile Pro
solution is shipping today with a MSRP of $109.99.
Delivering up to 136MB/s performance, the G-Technology
G-DRIVE mini features a sleek
compact and durable all-aluminum enclosure and storage
capacities up to 1TB using HGST Travelstar 7,200 RPM
drives. The G-DRIVE mini offers both USB 3.0 and
FireWire 800 connectivity and
has an integrated heat-sink for cooling and
silent operation. Preformatted for Mac users, the drive
works with Apple computer systems right out of the box
and is Time Machine ready. An initialization is
all it takes to prepare the G-DRIVE mini for use with
Windows systems. The new 1TB G-Technology G-DRIVE mini
is now available for a suggested retail price of
$199.95 for 1TB.
Out
of the box, the new G-RAID mini solution is set up in RAID
0 (performance mode), with its two 7,200 RPM drives. The drive supports
simultaneous playback of multiple layers of HDV, DVCPRO
HD, XDCAM HD and ProRes 422 HQ with leading video
editing applications including Final Cut Pro, Adobe
Premiere and many more. Using the included software
utility, the G-RAID mini can be configured in RAID 1
(protected mode).
The G-RAID mini is FireWire bus powered - even when
using USB 3.0 for data transfer. Shipping in early Q1, the 2TB G-RAID mini solution will have a MSRP of $449.95. |
