Superior performance requires no sacrifice
The Hitachi Travelstar™ E7K200 is the Industry’s only third-generation 7200 RPM 2.5-inch 
hard drive with enhanced availability. It delivers double the capacity and a 22% performance 
improvement over its predecessor. At 200GB, Hitachi offers the highest capacity 7200 RPM 
2.5-inch product with unmatched performance in PCMark testing. Despite the higher spin 
speed, the E7K200 offers comparably low power consumption, heat emission and acoustics 
to its 5400 RPM counterparts, thereby helping system makers to support energy conservations 
initiatives without sacrificing performance. In addition, with its new higher shock specifications, 
Travelstar E7K200 is designed to address the needs for rugged, reliable storage in non- 
stop environments.
 
Around-the-clock data operation
Hitachi employs specific microcode to allow the Travelstar E7K200 to deliver 24 x 7 access 
to data. These models broaden the product line to make it more suitable for data intensive 
applications requiring round-the-clock operation. Travelstar E7K200 provides leadership 
capacity, performance, durability and power utilization on a proven platform for quality and 
reliability. The E7K200 can support the stringent demands of ”always-on” applications in 
lower transaction environments.
