Recently we have taken a look at our HDD section and found that our previous roundup of 1-terabyte models is almost 1 year old. It is an eternity by the standards of the IT industry. Of course, we have been busy writing reviews of 750GB drives and 640G...
We will do some summarizing now. First of all, we can name the fastest 1-terabyte drive in all our tests. It is the WD RE3 (WD1002FBYS). This is the best buy if you prefer maximum performance. But if you don’t like its high price, you can take the W...

For many years, hard disk drives were large, cumbersome devices, more suited to use in the protected environment of data centres or large offices than in a harsh industrial environment (due to their delicacy), or small office or home (due to their si...
So how well did the Hitachi DeskStar 7K1000 perform in today's testing? Although I would have liked to have had a similarly spec'd hard drive from Western Digital or Seagate to compare the Hitachi DeskStar 7K1000 against I wasn't able to get my hands on...

We were gobsmacked by the performance of the Deskstar 7K1000. Its a seriously quick drive. The performance is no doubt thanks in part to the 32MB on board data buffer. Unfortunately, we couldnt test the performance of this drive in RAID 0 but can onl...

The Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000 was the first terabyte drive to market, and it remains one of the fastest drives money can buy, competitive with the legendary WD Raptor. Historically, Hitachi drives have been on the noisy side, but the 7K1000 brings increm...
From a silencing perspective, the 7K1000 represents a small but important step forward for Hitachi. Acoustically, it still has a long way to go to match the current best of the crop, but its no longer bringing up the rear. And, if the slower performa...

A few months ago, when Hitachis DeskStar 7K1000 was, briefly, the only kid on the block packing 1TB of storage in a single 3.5-in. hard drive form factor, it would have been a no-brainer to give the unit three thumbs up, a bushel of kudos and a bucke...

I have been around for a while, and when Western Digital decided to send me their 500 GB hard drive; I drooled. Then Seagate came out with their 750 GB drive; I got goose bumps. Now, Hitachi decided to realign my particles with their 1TB SATA II hard d...

The last time we heard from Hitachi, they had produced the fastest 500GB drive we have ever seen. Today we get shocked all over again when we review their latest 1 TB drives both alone and in a 2GB RAID 0 array! How do they perform? Click the link to f...

It wasnt long ago when I was installing my first 1GB hard drive and thinking to myself "How will I ever fill this?", now Im installing a new Hitachi 1TB drive and thinking the same thing, and probably in a couple years and Im testing a 500TB drive...
Good Performance, Tons of Storage Space...
Price...
As weve seen throughout this review, the Hitachi 7K1000 drive is a pretty good performing drive, and was easily able to perform better than the Maxtor drive that we compared it against. This wasnt too surprising since the Hitachi drive boasts a 32MB...

IMAGINE ONE THOUSAND thousand thousand thousand bytes. A terabyte, if you will. But more than just that—a milestone in storage capacity that hard drive manufacturers have been chasing for years. After more than a decade of living in a world of gigab...
Everyone remembers their first, be it a kiss, a car, or the clumsy back-seat combination of the two. As the first hard drive to reach the terabyte mark, Hitachis Deskstar 7K1000 will be remembered, too. Squeezing a trillion bytes into a 3.5" hard driv...

Hitachi is shipping their 1000GB (One Terabyte) 3G SATA drive, the Deskstar 7K1000. We ran it through a series of speed tests to see how it compared to two 750GB drives as well as a 500GB drive. SpeedTools.com (aka Intech Software) includes QuickBen...

You can never have too much money or too much storage. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a little bit of a pack rat. I don’t like throwing things away. So I still have on my hard drive, my personal statements that got me into college...

The terabyte race for consumer desktop hard drives has been on for a long time, now the first generation of drives is here. On April 25th, Hitachi announced that it would begin shipping the Deskstar 7K1000, their latest series of consumer hard drives...
The performance of the Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000 1TB hard drive was impressive, matching the Western Digital Raptor 150 for load times in games and defeating the Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 500GB hard drive in many of our tests. While the Deskstar 7K1000...

It's inevitable that you will have judged the Deskstar 7K1000 before you even read the first paragraph of this review - either you need a 1000 Gigabyte hard drive or you don't, there's not much I can do to convince you either way! You see, for the averag...

After all the testing, I think that even though the Raptor 10k RPM drive I have has a slightly faster random access time, most users will never notice that difference. The huge storage capacity gap between the Raptor and the 7K1000 pushes the DeskStar...

Massive capacity; great performance for a 7200RPM drive; reasonable price.
More capacity means more data to lose; its the most expensive desktop drive to date.
Hitachi delivers stunning capacity and excellent performance in the 7200RPM 7K1000. But if you buy one, make sure you have a good backup strategy!...
