Rugged, 500GB single-disk HDD solution for slim mobile applications
Travelstar™ Z5K500 is the second generation 7mm, 5400 rPM 2.5-inch hard drive from
hitachi, with capacities ranging from 250GB to 500GB and the second generation advanced
Format drive. advanced Format increases the physical sector size on hdds from 512 bytes
to 4,096 (4K) bytes, which improves drive capacities and error correction capabilities. The
500GB per platter, one-disk models are designed as a direct replacement for standard 9.5mm
hdds, for use in notebook PCs, external storage and gaming consoles, as well as new, thinner
and more robust device designs. The Z5K500 carries the EcoTrac classification due to its
low-power consumption and eco-friendly, halogen-free production. Travelstar Z5K500 delivers
the right balance of capacity, power-management and design flexibility to meet the needs of
mobile applications.

Data security option
Travelstar Z5K500 is the sixth generation self-encrypting drive (Sed) to feature hitachi'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 the
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. For information about the Sed
models designed to the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Opal Storage Security specification,
please contact your hitachi representative.

Enhanced Availability (EA)—for 24x7 access to data
hitachi provides enhanced availability models of the Travelstar Z5K500 that deliver 24x7
access to information for data-intensive applications requiring round-the-clock operation. The
new thinner profile allows for additional cooling, especially important in dense blade server
designs. The Z5K500 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.
