Hitachi launches a trio of Three Terabytes Deskstar and XL HD

Hitachi today unveiled a new line up of 3TB storage solutions for a broad range of users from consumers to OEMs. Given the company�s global strength, and the continued support of its retail and channel partners, Hitachi GST is well positioned to move the industry forward in leveraging high-capacity 3TB drives across a variety of segments, all while using one of the world�s most reliable hard drive platforms with proven quality and performance.

Just in time for holiday shoppers, a Hitachi Deskstar Internal Hard Drive Kit is a perfect gift for that special someone who wants to add more capacity and speed to their desktop computer for high-intensity multimedia applications like games and video. The new 3TB, 7,200 RPM Kit� includes a high-performance Deskstar 7K3000 hard drive, mounting screws, step-by-step instructions, and a software download that allows 32- and 64-bit Microsoft Windows, Apple OS X and Linux systems to tap into the full capacity and power of the 3TB drive, as one big massive data drive, without having to install extra hardware. Consumers who have 32- or 64-bit Apple Mac OS X or Linux systems can enjoy the drive as a data drive or a boot drive right out of the box � no software download is required. Due to the 2.2TB limit on certain systems, Windows Vista and Windows 7 users should consult Hitachi�s 2.2TB web site (http://www.hitachigst.com/internal-drives/above-2tb/) for system compatibility guidelines to use the drive as a boot drive.

The new Hitachi Internal Hard Drive Kit comes in capacities of 3TB and 2TB, making them ideal for storing massive amounts of digital content. All drives ship with a 64MB buffer and a 6Gb/s SATA interface, providing quick access to data.

The 3TB Hitachi Deskstar Internal Hard Drive Kit is shipping this week to online and retail stores with a MSRP of $249.99.
