Hitachi has recently unveiled the Travelstar 7K500, a 2.5-inch 500GB hard disk (7200rpm) that is specially build for laptops. The hard disk drive is ideal for multitasking, gaming and graphic-intensive applications on notebooks, gaming systems and professional external storage solutions. The Hitachi Travelstar 7K500 also consumes less power. In Idle mode, the drive uses only 0.69W and that goes to 1.8W during a read/write (0.5W/1.4W for the 5400rpm version).
