On October 30, 2013, Beijing – hgst, a subsidiary of Western data (NASDAQ: WDC), announced its hgst today ™ Z series 7 mm, 2.5 inch notebook computer hard disk shipment has exceeded 100 million mark. In addition, as the leader of the 7mm hard disk market, hgst also released a brand-new 2.5-inch, 1TB hgst z5k1000 hard disk, which can be called the fastest response speed and the best seismic performance 5400 RPM 7mm hard disk on the market. It is mainly suitable for ultranotebook, ultrabook, external memory and ultra small consumer electronic equipment. Hgst's 7mm z-series hard disks have universal connectors and mount points, which can be easily integrated into existing systems to achieve higher design flexibility and help partners design lighter and stronger consumer electronic devices. Therefore, hgst has been widely favored by major PC manufacturers around the world.
Brendan Collins, vice president of product marketing at hgst, said: "the 7mm, 2.5-inch hard disk market has always been one of hgst's strategic priorities, and our 100 million shipment in this market is the best proof. With the launch of the new 1TB hgst z5k1000, hgst will continue to offer the widest portfolio of 5400 rpm and 7200 rpm, 7 mm, 2.5 inch hard drives in the market to meet the diverse mobile computing and storage needs. "
"With the introduction of ASUS transformer Book trio, we are reshaping the entire mobile computing landscape," said ASUS, an early adopter of the new hgst z5k1000. In order to be able to provide game changing technologies for mobile life, we need partners to be innovative and able to provide affordable solutions to our customers. The hgst z-series product line eliminates capacity and design boundaries without compromising reliability. "
According to the report of IHS, an information provider, the demand for ultra-thin hard disks is expected to reach 140 million by 2017, thanks to the growing demand for ultra-thin notebook computers and tablets. The expansion of hgst's 7mm Z series product portfolio will help meet this demand. Hgst z5k1000 provides 1TB capacity in 7mm thickness, with the industry's latest 6GB / s SATA interface and ultra fast 3-second startup time. Moreover, it is robust and low-power, helping manufacturers to produce newer and thinner systems. Compared with the traditional 9.5mm 2.5 inch hard disk, this hard disk is 26% thinner and weighs only 95g. OEM manufacturers and integrators can use its space saving feature to design thinner and lighter equipment, increase battery capacity, improve seismic performance or optimize internal airflow, so as to optimize product mix.
Fang Zhang, an analyst at IHS storage systems, said: "when choosing large storage tools, people still prefer mechanical hard disk, which has the best unit GB cost compared with all other storage media in the market. In addition, as consumers create and consume more and more digital content, they will inevitably need more storage space. Therefore, 7mm hard disk, especially hgst's 1TB z5k1000, will continue to play an important role in the light and thin hard disk market in the future. "
The new hgst z5k1000 series products continue the small double disc 7mm design, with 1.6W read / write energy consumption, 0.5W ultra-low idle energy consumption, and 2.1 bell idle noise and 2.2 bell working noise close to silent state. Its anti-seismic performance can be called the best in the industry: it can withstand 400g / 2ms of vibration impact in the working state and 1000g / 1ms in the non working state, which is enough to resist the collision and intense vibration in the mobile environment. The series also has a built-in two-stage actuator to improve the magnetic track positioning, so as to improve the integrity and reliability of large data processing. Advanced format technology is used to improve the hard disk capacity and error correction ability.
Hgst z5k1000 is the seventh generation self encrypting hard disk, which adopts the bulk data encryption technology of hgst. Hgst's hard disk encryption technology has great attraction for enterprises that often keep confidential information on notebook computers or removable storage devices. This hard disk conforms to opal specification made by trusted computing organization. It encrypts data through self encryption technology and protection key, providing users with the highest level of data protection technology. It also speeds up and simplifies the process of reusing hard disks. After the encryption key is deleted, the data in the hard disk will not be read, thus saving the time-consuming data copying process.
Hgst z5k1000 series products include 1TB and 750GB capacity specifications. Hgst is currently certification z5k1000 with some OEM manufacturers. From November, more certified samples can be obtained through pipeline distributors. For more information, please visit http://www.HGST.com/hard-drives/mobile-drives 。
