of shock damage by eliminating direct con-
tact between the heads and disks. Reduced 
wear and heat improve overall drive reliability. 
In the event of power loss to the drive, heads 
are unloaded using energy extracted from the 
spinning disks. This patented power-saving 
feature helps to reduce overall maintenance 
costs and extends the drive service life.    
Another contributor to Deskstar 7K1000’s 
exceptional shock performance and power 
savings is the use of compact, low-mass 
femto air-bearing sliders. 
Extended field reliability
An integrated thermal sensor monitors oper-
ating temperature, enabling the host proces-
sor to intelligently adjust airflow as needed 
for cooling. Sensor integration reduces 
component cost and increases reliability. 
Deskstar 7K1000’s thermal fly-height control 
(TFC) uses an integrated heating element 
to precisely maintain a constant fly-height 
throughout read and write operations. This 
reduces raw soft error rate and, in turn, 
improves overall data integrity, drive perfor-
mance and reliability. 
Deskstar 7K1000’s iridium-manganese- 
chromium (IrMnCr) read head sensor technol-
ogy offers better performance and reliability 
in harsh conditions.

An industry first, the Hitachi Deskstar
®
 
7K1000 hard disk drive delivers up to one 
terabyte of storage capacity for demanding 
consumer and commercial computing 
products. It leverages the industry’s most 
reliable perpendicular magnetic recording 
(PMR) techniques and the latest advance-
ments in silent acoustics, shock protection, 
and head technology to maximize capacity, 
performance and field reliability. Best-in-class 
power management and thermal emissions 
help manufacturers meet energy compliance 
targets and extend drive life.  
Proven PMR technology 
Field-proven in 2.5-in. drives, Hitachi’s PMR 
implementation continues to demonstrate 
reliability equal to or exceeding conventional 
longitudinal technology. The Deskstar 7K1000’s 
second-generation PMR head and media 
technology improves noise characteristics 
and thermal stability. 
Reduced power idle modes
Unique to Hitachi drives, the Deskstar 7K1000 
features three advanced low-power idle modes 
– active, unload and low-power. Together, they 
reduce power consumption at the drive level 
up to 20%, optimize non-operational latency 
and lower drive temperature for cooler system 
operation. 
 
Outstanding shock resistance and  
power efficiency
Through a patented ramp load/unload design 
disk heads (in non-operating modes) are 
unloaded to a ramp outside the disk where 
they rest in a low-power ‘unload idle’ state 
until activated. In low RPM drives, this can  
reduce power by up to 50%. Ramp load/ 
unload provides tangible benefits for the drive 
and host product. It greatly minimizes the risk
