The high-capacity drives will be coming to the market in both eco-friendly 5400RPM and high-performance 7200RPM varieties as the 5K3000 and 7K3000, respectively. The faster models will also come with 64MB of cache while the 5K3000 drives will have to settle for a 32MB buffer, though both will feature the speedy SATA 6Gbps interface.
Even with the quicker drive's advertised maximum transfer rate of 1656Mbps (207MB/s) it won't saturate the bandwidth of SATA 3Gbps, so the inclusion actually seems like more of a vanity feature than anything else. Nonetheless, it does no harm to have a forward-looking interface on-board when it won't cost any extra.
Both drives will also be available in 2TB and 1.5TB models that will benefit from the same large cache, high transfer-speeds and faster interface in case you find 3TB be a little excessive.
what Hitachi describes as an eco-friendly, halogen-free design. Still no word on pricing or a release date, but The Inquirer surmises it'll cost somewhere in the neighborhood of £200, or $320.
