Hitachi Deskstar T7K500 GB according to our tests is currently the best hard disk capacity as we, all performance and price into account. In this system, we place it over two discs and you can decide how to: RAID 0 you have a total of 1 Terabyte capacity and extra high performance. In RAID 1 you have a total of 500 GB, the performance of such a disk, but do you really know that all your data is preserved if one disk crashes. A nice compromise solution, which is also offered by the selected motherboard is Matrix RAID, a portion of the drives as RAID 0 (for example, operating system and programs), some as RAID 1 (e.g. documents).

AnandTech has published a review of the Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000, the first hard disk with a capacity of one terabyte. This disc was introduced early this year and is initially available exclusively through Dell.

What’s the Power of Hitachi Deskstar

Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000De Deskstar 7K1000, the first perpendicular hard drive from Hitachi uses five platters with a capacity of 200GB per unit that the magic terabyte limit is tapped. The disc also has a speed of 7200 rpm, a Serial ATA connector, supports NCQ and 32MB cache. AnandTech compares the disk with 750GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 and Western Digital Raptor 150GB. The Seagate Barracuda was until recently the largest hd Western Digital Raptor and is one of the fastest HD with a speed of 10.000rpm.

The tests on AnandTech the Deskstar 7K1000 are particularly well off the bus. The read and write performance of the disk are close to the Raptor. At the same time produces the least noise Deskstar 7K1000 drives of all tested and continue to drive - despite the presence of five platters - cool. Furthermore, the drive for competitive pricing is good with an MSRP of $ 399. Thanks to the good price, high performance and high capacity AnandTech dubs the Deskstar 7K1000 the best 7200rpm drive that they so far have been held.
