according to the conclusion table, hitachi has a 5400gb drive. i want one!
The Hitachi P7K500 series has a nice feature - if you activate "Low RPM idle" mode via the Feature Tool, the drive slow down from 7200rpm (to about 4500rpm) after 10 minutes when not accesing it. I have one (250GB model) and it's working great, it helps also to reduce the sound of the rotating platters. It would be nice to mention it in the review.
@jeremyrailton
they made raid compatible hard drives for faster writings, ect. if you want a 5400gb hard drive, just don't hold anything that you use regularly with something that massively slow.
unless your a big corporation, a music/movie addict, or a porn addict. (home users, that's you) you wouldn't need it for much.
why not just use SSD? ...idk, just a thought
Crap capacities?
Hello.
I'm a owner of two Hitachi P7K500 500 GB hard drives, but I haven't been able to enable AHCI mode on my Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L (rev. 2.0) motherboard. Whenever I enable the option in the BIOS (I don't remember the exact name right now), next time it boots up it just won't even detect the drives.
If someone can help me with this issue, I'd pretty much appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
You need install drivers os SATA contoller,
The Hitachi also comes with a 16mb cache--too bad this review did not use that model, since all the other drives here use 16-32mb caches.
