1TB of storage capacity for mobile platforms
Travelstar™ 5K1000 is a 5400 RPM, 500GB/platter, 2.5-inch hard drive available in 640GB, 750GB 
and 1TB models. This standard 9.5mm, two-disk design, intended for use in notebook PCs, external 
storage, gaming consoles and other mobile applications, leverages Advanced Format, which 
increases the physical sector size on hard drives from 512 bytes to 4096 (4K) bytes to increase drive 
capacities and improve error correction capabilities. Consult the Hitachi Advanced Format 
Technology Brief for more information on using these hard drives. The Travelstar 5K1000 is the first 
1TB 2.5-inch HDD with a 6Gb/s SATA interface and delivers best-of-breed 5400 RPM performance 
in PCMark 7 and PCMark Vantage testing. The 5K1000 continues to demonstrate Hitachi’s 
ecological leadership with its halogen-free design and power-efficient operation, and carries the 
EcoTrac classification. Travelstar 5K1000 delivers the highest mobile capacity with excellent 
performance to meet the needs of consumers and commercial users in an eco-friendly, rugged design.
Encryption option
Travelstar 5K1000 is the seventh generation  self-encrypting drive (SED) to feature Hitachi’s 
Bulk Data Encryption. The SED encrypts data using protected keys in real time, 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. 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 5K1000 that allow 24x7  
access to data to support applications that require round-the-clock operation. The 5K1000  
provides high capacity, durability and low power utilization on a proven platform for quality 
and reliability. EA models support the stringent demands of “always-on” applications in lower-
transaction environments.
