Product Description
-------------------
Travelstar Z7K500 is the second generation 7mm, 7200 RPM
2.5-inch hard drive from HGST, leveraging Advanced Format, which
increases the physical sector size from 512 bytes to 4,096 (4K)
bytes to improve drive capacities and error correction
capabilities. Travelstar Z7K500 is the first 2.5-inch HDD with a
6Gb/s SATA interface and 32MB of cache and delivers the highest
7200 RPM performance in PCMark Vantage testing. The 500GB per
platter, one-disk models are designed as a direct replacement for
standard 9.5mm HDs, for use in PCs, external storage and
gaming consoles, as well as new, thinner and more robust device
designs. The Z7K500 carries the EcoTrac classification due to its
low-power consumption and halogen-free production. Travelstar
Z7K500 balances speed, power-efficiency and design flexibility to
meet the needs of mobile applications.

Data Security Options
---------------------
Travelstar Z7K500 is the sixth generation self-encrypting drive
(SED) to feature HGST's Bulk Data Encryption (BDE). The SED model
encrypts data in real time using protected keys, providing users
the highest level of data protection available. It also speeds
and simplifies drive re-purposing. By deleting the encryption
key, the data on the drive is rendered unreadable, thereby
eliminating the need for time-consuming data-overwrite.
Enhanced Availability for 24x7 Access to Data
---------------------------------------------
HGST provides enhanced availability models of the Travelstar
Z7K500 that allow 24x7 access to data to support applications
that require round-the-clock operation. The new thinner profile
allows for additional cooling, especially important in dense
blade server designs. The Z7K500 provides high capacity,
durability and quiet acoustics on a proven platform for quality
and reliability. EA models support the stringent demands of
"always-on" applications in lower-transaction environments.
