Bigger storage for new desktop systems
The Deskstar™ 7K4000 offers the industry’s highest hard drive capacity at an enormous four 
terabytes of storage with 7200 RPM performance in a standard 3.5-inch form factor. This 
drive uses Advanced Format, which increases the sector size on HDDs from 512 bytes to 
4096 (4K) bytes, thereby increasing capacities and improving error correcting capabilities. 
Consult the Hitachi Advanced Format Technology Brief for more information. The 7K4000 
also boasts a 6Gb/s SATA interface and 64MB cache buffer to balance performance and 
capacity. The Deskstar 7K4000 is designed to help manufacturers deliver high-performance, 
high-capacity, power-efficient systems. Manufacturers planning to use the 4TB drive in 
systems should consult the Hitachi High Capacity Technology Brief. 
Balanced performance, capacity and energy efficiency 
The Deskstar 7K4000 delivers an extraordinary blend of capacity, performance and power 
efficiency. This model will ship with 64MB cache buffer and 6Gb/s SATA interface, making 
it an ideal storage platform for desktop computing. Leveraging support for Extended Power 
Conditions and eighth-generation power management technology, including power-saving 
innovations like HiVERT™ technology, this drive delivers excellent power efficiency and 
thermal emissions to help manufacturers meet energy compliance targets and extend drive life.
Eco-friendly storage
The Deskstar 7K4000 demonstrates Hitachi ecological leadership with its halogen-free 
design and power-efficient operation. Both of these features helped qualify the drive for the 
Hitachi EcoTrac classification, which identifies products that minimize environmental impact 
in the areas of product design, manufacturing, operation and disposal.
