Special OWC Bundle!
NewerTech Voyager Q "Quad Interface" Docking Station
with 500GB Hitachi Deskstar Hard Drive & Disk Utilities!

Everything you need in one package, immediately ready to:

• Backup and store your data with confidence.
• Consolidate your smaller drives.
• Organize bodies of work on separate drives for long term storage.

Examples of how this Voyager Q bundle can be used in real world situations:

Photographers / Videographers: Keep your photos and video archived and organized by using a separate drive for each volume of your work.

Small Business Applications: Backup important files at end of day and keep the drive separate from your system, either off-site or in a fire-proof safe. Keep multiple drives to have backups from any specific date if your business demands archivability.

Computer Technicians: Easily backup client data to separate disks before working on the machine without the need to utilize an enclosure. It's as easy as using an open bridge board with the protection of a full enclosure.

Home Use: Keep your pictures, financial records, scanned legal documents such as birth certificates and other personal documents safe. Backup your data to a separate drive and keep the drive in a safe or safe deposit box.

For Everyone: Have the piece of mind of a complete backup plan. Create a bootable clone of your hard drive at regular intervals so if your computer goes down, your productivity doesn't go down with it. Boot to another computer and keep on working!

The Drive 500GB Hitachi Deskstar P7K500 Energy-efficient storage for power-friendly PCs Balanced power and performance for desktop computing The Deskstar™ P7K500 hard drive provides an exceptional blend of power efficiency and performance making it an ideal solution for consumer and enterprise power-friendly PCs. Leveraging sixth-generation power management technology as well as power-saving innovations pioneered on Hitachi’s popular 2.5-inch line of notebook PC hard drives, this new breed of desktop drive delivers best-in-class power management and thermal emissions to help manufacturers meet energy compliance targets and extend drive life. Power efficiency helps manufacturers deliver ENERGY STAR® 4.0 compliant systems The ENERGY STAR 4.0 specifications are recognized around the world as a way of identifying energy-efficient PCs and other office equipment. PCs that meet the ENERGY STAR 4.0 criteria are expected to become increasingly required by government agencies, corporations and consumers. Some corporations are choosing to purchase ENERGY STAR PCs as part of their “green” initiatives. The Deskstar P7K500 hard drive delivers industry-leading low-power consumption – up to 40 percent operational power savings over previous generation products – contributing to a reduction in overall system power requirements which helps PC manufacturers achieve ENERGY STAR ratings. Additionally, less power required by the hard drive means more power budget available in an ENERGY STAR PC for additional features and functions. Robust technology and configuration flexibility Featuring a Serial SATA interface to meet the needs of many design configurations, the Deskstar P7K500 is also built using the industry’s most reliable perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) techniques to maximize capacity, performance and field reliability.   Highlights Up to 40 percent operational power savings over previous generation products Capacities up to 500GB ¹ Built on industry’s most reliable PMR technology Applications Consumer & commercial computers Personal storage PC gaming Deskstar P7K500 Specifications Model(s) HDP725050GLA380 Interface SATA 3Gb/s Capacity (GB)¹ 500 Data heads (physical) 4 Data disks 2 Max. areal density (Gbits/sq. in.) 185 Performance Data buffer (MB)² 16 Rotational speed (RPM) 7200 Media transfer rate (Mbits/sec, max) 1138 Interface transfer rate (MB/sec, max) 300 Reliability Error rate (non-recoverable, bits read) 1 in 1014 Starts/stops (at 40° C) 50,000 Availability 3 (hrs/day x days/wk) 24x7 Warranty 3-year Manufacturer Warranty Acoustics Idle (Bels, typical) 2.6 Power Requirement +5 VDC (±5%) +12 VDC (±10%) Startup current (A, max.) 2.0 (+12V), 1.3 (+5V) Idle (W) 4.8 Physical size z-height (mm) 26.1 Dimensions (width x depth, mm) 101.6 (±0.25) x 147 Weight (typical, g, max.) 550 Environmental (operating) Ambient temperature 0° to 60° C Relative humidity (non-condensing) 8% to 90% Shock (half-sine wave) 70 Vibration, random (G RMS 5 to 500 Hz) 0.67 (XY) Environmental (non-operating) Ambient temperature -40° to 70° C Relative humidity (non-condensing) 5% to 95% Shock (half sine wave) 350 Vibration (random) (RMS) 1.04 (XYZ) One GB is equal to one billion bytes when referring to hard drive capacity.
