2.5-INCH MOBILE 7200 RPM 7MM HARD DISK DRIVES
High-Performance, Single-Disk
500GB HDD for Mobile Applications
Data Security Option
Travelstar® Z7K500 is the second generation 7mm, 7200
RPM 2.5-inch hard drive from HGST, with capacities
ranging from 250GB to 500GB leveraging Advanced
Format, which increases the physical sector size from 512
bytes to 4,096 (4K) bytes to improve drive capacities and
error correction capabilities. Travelstar Z7K500 is the first
2.5-inch HDD with a 6Gb/s SATA interface and 32MB of
cache and delivers the highest 7200 RPM performance
in PCMark Vantage testing. 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 Z7K500 carries the
EcoTrac classification due to its low power consumption
and eco-friendly, halogen-free production. Travelstar
Z7K500 balances speed, power-efficiency and design
flexibility to meet the needs of mobile applications.
HGST Quality and Service
HGST’s mobile hard drives are designed to the highest
quality standards and contain field-proven components.
HGST provides worldwide technical support and
integration services to enable global customers to bring
their products to market quickly.
Travelstar Z7K500 is the sixth generation self-encrypting
drive (SED) to feature HGST’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
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 HGST representative.
Enhanced Availability (EA)—
for 24x7 Access to Data
HGST provides enhanced availability models of the
Travelstar Z7K500 that allow 24x7 access to data to
support applications that require round-the-clock
operation. The new thinner profile allows for additional
cooling, especially important in dense blade server
designs. The Z7K500 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.
