While Hitachi has done a lot to improve the image of the dreaded DeskStar lineup, they have yet to catch up to Seagate. A 5yr warranty is a great place to start mind you (as I found out the hard way, just as I completed testing, my Samsung boot drive ...
Abstract: There is nothing more exciting than seeing a brandy new shiny HDD sitting on my front steps waiting for me. There is only one company that could have done this… wait… you guess yet? Hitachi! Yeah, I said Hitachi. If you folks have ever voted on our po...
Abstract: Hitachi lanserte sin 500 GB disk på CES i januar 2005, du kan lese vår omtale . Dermed fikk de et forsprang på 100 GB i forhold til konkurrentene. Vi testet den første utgaven i august 2005, det tar som kjent noe tid fra produkter blir lansert ...

Abstract: We've never done a review of a single hard disk before but this Hitachi drive justifies the attention. It's the first 500GB disk drive to hit the shelves. That's half a Terabyte in a single drive. Blimey! Hitachi has got its drive to market ahead of the l...
Abstract: For all intents and purposes, the 7K500 is a monumental release (half of a terabyte, 3Gbps, NCQ, 16MB of data cache, and staggered spin-up in a 500GB offering). It represents all of the latest developments to the SATA specification. To be fair, they do...
