With 7mm ultra-thin hard drives all the rage, Hitachi aims to blast one out of the park with its new 500GB single-platter Z5K500 – that’s right, 500GB on a single platter. Getting to this higher capacity in such a slim package has been a big deal for drive manufactures, since in the 7mm drive space you are limited to a single drive platter, instead of two in a 9.5mm drive or three in a 12.5mm drive. While capacity might be the biggest selling point of this drive, it is also important to see how well it does in the performance category.

Unlike standard desktop HDDs, the VelociRaptor spins at a blistering 10 000 RPM and features a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface, allowing it to deliver sustained data throughput and quicker read/write access that benefits workstations, creative applications and performance‑oriented systems.
Whether installed in a desktop chassis or integrated into a high‑performance storage array, the delivers a notable combination of rotational speed, cache efficiency and sustained throughput that makes it a strong choice for applications where traditional HDDs fall short.
