Today, the company announced its new Travelstar 7K200 mobile HDD which offers a storage capacity of 200GB and a spindle speed of 7200RPM. In addition, the drive can also be equipped with hard-drive level “Bulk Data Encryption.” The drive offers comparable power consumption to 5400RPM units and can withstand 350 Gs of shock.
200GB, 7200RPM and encryption are three things that will make a lot of notebook owners quite happy. Hitachi seems to be quite ahead of the game. Seagate still has maxed out at 160GB 7200RPM thus far.
