Apr 13 2009, 7:44am CDT | by Shane McGlaun

Today we are going to look at the Hitachi 5K500.B 2.5-inch HDD for notebook computers. The drive is only 9.5mm thick and needs only 1.4W during read/write operations. The drive family can be had in 120GB, 160Gb, 250GB, 320GB, 400GB, and 500GB.

The drive also offers optional bulk data encryption. The small hard drive is perfect for notebook users looking to add more storage to their notebook. Hitachi also integrates green features into the drive as well.

Review excerpt: "One of the most common upgrades that power users perform on their notebooks is adding a larger hard drive. Today we are going to look at the Hitachi 5K500.B 2.5-inch hard drive for notebooks. The hard drive is high in capacity with 500GB of storage space, but offers some of the lowest power requirements in the industry." Read the full Hitachi 5K500.B hard drive review here.
