The Hitachi Travelstar 5K160 is one of the world's most advanced and reliable portable hard drives, if its specifications and features are anything to go by. This 160GB 2.5" Serial ATA hard drive is the
first of its kind to utilize Perpendicular Magnetic Recording technology, offering a more stable and reliable performance as compared to other conventional hard drives. It will record longitudinally on the surface of the drive platter, and shares a similar concept with that of the double layer DVD recording and writing. This translates to 5 times the storage density of standard longitudinal recording while offering a performance boost in the process. The Travelstar 5K160 Serial ATA hard drive is currently available in the entire range of Malibal notebooks.
Pros : Speedy performance, compact
Cons : 160GB might not be enough for power users
