Hitachi expands “Tera Era” with a more efficient 1TB drive |
If you were excited when Hitachi came out with the first 1TB internal hard drive early last year then be prepared to be just slightly more excited. Hitachi today introduced that same 1TB Deskstar drive but now using 43% less power consumption, naming it the Deskstar 7K1000.B.
The “.B” means that you can buy this whopping internal hard drive with less concern that it’s going to sit there and suck loads more power than your old 80GB drive, which it will, but not as much as it used to according to Hitachi. The drive is actually available in sizes from 160GB up to the largest 1TB capacity.
Some specs worth noting include a SATA II interface at 3Gb/s, 7200 rpm and an optional hardware-based Bulk Data Encryption system. Unfortunately the company has not yet released the price tag for the 7K1000.B or a timeframe when it’s available. But now at least we know they have it and they plan on letting us have it too, someday.

1 TB? No way for me to put my all files on it. Waste my time!
You will easily lost your important files from 1 TB. Don’t forget backup your files on CD/DVD/Blu-Ray disc and can live longest than Hard Drive life cycle. My favorite max GB for me to use 100 GB to 500 GB. 500 GB(Max) is enough for me. I hate Seagate. I love Western Digital so much and WD is more strongest than Seagate. Maxtor is ok, but I touch my Maxtor USB Hard drive is little hotter than Western Digital. Go to Western Digital all way. Western Digital(WD) is world’s best hard drive and our favorite color is blue. Blue can lead into the future. Blue = Very Good - Powerful than all other colors. Seagate = Yellow(mean short life cycle and you will lost files easily) Yellow = Caution.
My old WD hard drive 20 GB born in Dec. 1999 and dead at Oct. 11, 2005. Live longer WD hard drive!
My old Maxtor USB Hard drive still live from 2003 to now(2008). I don’t use backup hard drive much. Save hard drive life longer. I have two WD 500 GB each. No hotter appear. Cool and right way to use them. Because WD MyBook have build in air breath to keep cool air to push warm air out.
Why replace your hard drive again, again many times? We will move to Solid State Disk(SSD) soon, because SSD have longer life cycle. SSD life is about 20 times of per hard drive. What you think about SSD? Do our homework for study both SSD and HDD life cycle.
