Less Power, More Performance

The Deskstar 7K1000.C hard drive is a 7200 RPM 3.5-inch hard drive that provides an exceptional blend of power efficiency and performance, making it an ideal solution for power-friendly consumer and commercial desktop computers. This third-generation 1TB hard drive from Hitachi boosts media transfer rate performance by as much as 13% over its predecessor. Leveraging eighth-generation power management technology, as well as power-saving HiVERT™ innovations pioneered on the popular 2.5-inch line of notebook hard drives from Hitachi, this new desktop drive provides up to 18% idle power savings over the previous model to deliver best-in-class power management and thermal emissions.

Innovation for a More Sustainable Environment

The Deskstar 7K1000.C demonstrates Hitachi’s ecological leadership with its halogen-free design and power-efficient operation. Both these features helped qualify the drive for the Hitachi EcoTrac classification, which identifies products that minimize environmental impact in the areas of product design, manufacturing, operation and disposal.

Power Efficiency Supports ENERGY STAR 5.0

The ENERGY STAR 5.0 specifications released by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are recognized around the world as a way of identifying energy-efficient PCs and other computer equipment. PCs that meet the ENERGY STAR 5.0 criteria are expected to become increasingly popular with both corporations and consumers. Some corporations are choosing to purchase ENERGY STAR PCs as part of their "green" initiatives. The low power profile of the Deskstar 7K1000.C hard drive enables a reduction in overall system power requirements, which helps PC manufacturers achieve ENERGY STAR ratings.

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
In the past i've been referring Hitachi DeskStar as the deathstars due to high failure rates. I have been purchasing these drives for work due attractive pricing and very surprised to see no failure rates over the last 14 months. This purchase was for personal use and would be the 4th drive (over 30 drives are being used at work). Nice improvement from Hitachi.
