Hitachi Introduces Its Travelstar 5K750 And 7K750 750GB Notebook Hard Drives

If your notebook’s hard drive has been overloaded with those videos that you’ve been (legally) downloading, you’ll be happy to hear that Hitachi GST has introduced a new Travelstar 5K750 5400RPM drive with a 8MB buffer, and 7K750 7200RPM drive with a 16MB buffer. The storage company is proud to lay claim to the industry’s largest drive with standard-height form factor, as Hitachi managed to cram a juicy 750GB into a conventional 9.5mm shell that will fit into most notebooks. The drive will also be available in 500GB and 640GB capacities. The 5K750 is already shipping in volume with a starting price of $129.99, while the speedier 7K750 will be arriving in Q1 of 2011.
