Hitachi and ASUS collaborate to deliver the world's first 1TB notebook PC
(Technology News, 07 Jan 2008 )
ASUS has integrated Hitachi Global Storage Technologies’ Travelstar 5K500 hard drive into its new M50 and M70 notebook PCs, the latter of which delivers up to 1TB of storage capacity in a two-drive configuration, breaking a new ground in personal computing by combining industry-leading storage capacity with the portability of a notebook PC. One TB of storage capacity translates to 1,000 hours of video, or more than 350 feature length movies or 250,000 four-minute songs.
ASUS selected Hitachi Travelstar drives for its M50 and M70 series notebooks to allow users to store more digital content. Consumers expect their notebook PCs to be entertainment powerhouses, storing and providing easy access to massive libraries of high-definition movies, music and photos. The new Travelstar 5K500 addresses these requirements with the features, design innovations and technologies that enhance the entertainment experience.
