Introducing the Travelstar 5K1500, a 5400 RPM, 500GB/platter, 2.5-inch hard drive that delivers a massive 1.5TB of storage capacity in an industry-standard 9.5mm design. The huge capacity yet compact size of the 5K1500 results in the highest storage density (MB/ mm3) of any hard drive today. This newest addition to the Travelstar family achieves the industrys highest 9.5mm capacity through an innovative three-disk design in a form factor that typically accommodates only two disks. The Travelstar 5K1500 is intended for use in notebook PCs, all-in-one desktop PCs, external storage, gaming consoles, blade servers, network routers and video surveillance systems.
