There is, however, one company that has chosen to stick with the 7200 RPM 2.5 drive and release it in the form of the seventh generation of mobile hard drives, the HGST 7K1000. With operating systems and storage controllers leveraging new technologies, HGST has packed the 7K1000 with 500GB per platter density, along with implementing Advanced Format Technology. Advanced Format or AF as we will call it from here forward, utilizes the surface of the disk more efficiently by combining eight traditional 512 byte sectors into a single 4096 byte or 4K sector. Gains measured from the transition from 512 byte to 4K sectors equal up to eleven percent increase in physical platter space. Hgst Travelstar 7K1000 2.5 1Tb Software That RunsSo, why choose 4K as the definitive sector size Why not 1K or 8K for that matter What it all boils down to is modern operating systems and even processors utilize data in 4K page sizes, effectively streamlining data throughput from the low level hardware to the software that runs at the surface. Specifications, Pricing and Availability The HGST 7K series comes in several capacities including 500GB (7K500), 750GB (7K750), and the model we have here today, the 1TB or 7K1000. Sector size utilized by the 7K1000 follows the Advanced Format 512e specification with the maximum areal density at 676 GbitsSq. The data buffer for the 7K1000 sits at 32MB, with the rotational speed at 7200 RPM. Media transfer rate is specd for 1284Mbitss or roughly 160MBs. Power requirements for the 7K1000 include a peak of 5.5W during start-up, a low power idle of 0.8W and readwrite average of 1.8W. The HGST 7K1000 offers class leading shock protection at 1000G1ms in a non-operational environment, and 400G2ms while operating. Newegg currently has the HGST 7K1000 listed and in stock at 89.99 for the drive in its bare form. Hgst Travelstar 7K1000 2.5 1Tb Full Retail KitHGST Travelstar 7K1000 We received our Travelstar review sample with full retail kit. The front of the box shows a sample image of the drive, with the capacity listed across the top. Hgst Travelstar 7K1000 2.5 1Tb Manual And AThe retail kit included the drive, manual and a coupon for 3GB of free cloud backup from Touro. Looking over our drive, we find the capacity listed to the left center of the drive with power requirements under. Further down we find the SATA 6Gbs capability listed, along with the drives shipping firmware revision of 3B0. The back of the drive has an ocean green PCB, with no surface mount components exposed. At the drives thickest point it measured in at 9.13mm. Putting the drive on our AWS BT-201 scale we find the drive weighing in just over 112 grams. Benchmarks - Test System Setup and ATTO Baseline Performance Desktop Test System ATTO Baseline Performance Version and or Patch Used: 2.34 ATTO is used by many disk manufacturers to determine the read and write speeds that will be presented to customers. Firing up the test system we are presented with our ATTO results. Here we achieved 133MBs read and 129MBs write for the 7K1000.
