Hitachi Ultrastar A7K1000 - hard drive - 500 GB - SATA-300
The Ultrastar A7K1000 delivers up to one terabyte of storage capacity in a standard 3.5-inch form factor, filling a vital need for high-density storage in the enterprise. As the third generation design, based on the popular Deskstar E7K500, the Ultrastar A7K1000 continues to set the standard in enterprise-class reliability and performance for enterprise and nearline applications requiring high-capacity storage. With a unique 5-platter design, the Ultrastar A7K1000 is built using the industry's most reliable perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) recording heads and media. The Ultrastar A7K1000 features a 3 Gbps SATA interface supporting key features in the Serial-ATA specification including Native Command Queuing (NCQ), staggered spin-up and hot-swap capability. The Ultrastar A7K1000 allows for configuration scalability and with the same physical connector as Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) drives, it's ideal for use in mixed-drive environments. In multi-drive environments, rotational vibration, which results from the vibration of neighboring drives in a system, can degrade hard drive performance. To aid in maintaining high performance, the Ultrastar A7K1000 incorporates enhanced Rotational Vibration Safeguard (RVS) technology providing up to 50% improvement over the previous generation against performance degradation, leading the industry.
