Hitachi Travelstar E5K160 80 GB ... technology and reliability. Hitachi employs specific microcode to allow the Travelstar E5K160 to deliver 24 x 7 access to data. Hitachi has also implemented Thermal Fly-height Control (TFC) for improved error rates, and iridium-manganese-chromium (IrMnCr) read heads for improved reliability. This combination of attributes enables the Travelstar E5K160 to address the needs for rugged, reliable storage in non-stop environments.

With the transition to PMR technology, Travelstar E5K160 demonstrates reliability that parallels or exceeds conventional longitudinal technology. Hitachi has successfully integrated second-generation PMR head and media technology with a read channel and IrMnCr read heads by leveraging new materials, complex processes, tools and testing. This, combined with the proven storage technologies of award- winning Travelstar products, allows Hitachi to deliver high capacity hard drives suitable for around-the-clock applications in small space environments.
