Hitachi Travelstar 7K320 Sips Little Power
Posted on May 7, 08 05:07 AM PDT
Now this is interesting - the Hitachi Travelstar 7K320 might be a 2.5" 320GB 7200rpm hard drive, but it consumes much less power compared to other hard drives in the same class. The 7K320 will support a similar SATA 3Gbps interface, sipping a mere 1.8 watts read/write of power while drawing a mere 0.8 watt when idle, placing it on par with other 5400rpm Hitachi models. Sounds perfect for notebook users as a lower power consumption in its components would mean prolonged battery life and increased productivity. The Hitachi Travelstar 7K320 should see action in a few weeks' time for $219.
