The Hitachi Travelstar 5K80 series is a 9.5mm high, 5400 RPM, 2.5-inch mobile hard disk drive ideal for today’s data-intensive business needs. The Travelstar 5K80 brings a new generation of 5400 RPM mobile solutions to the long legacy of the Travelstar family of hard disk drives.

The new Travelstar 5K80 reaches areal densities of up to 70Gbits/ per square inch written on each disk. This feat was achieved by adding another layer of “Pixie Dust”- or in more technical terms, another ruthenium/magnetic layer to create a fivelayer sandwich called laminated “Pixie Dust”. These additional layers bring even higher thermal stability to the media, allowing data recording at ultra-high densities while maintaining data-integrity.
