Hitachi's 7K400 Hard Drive Capacity Reaches 400-GB

Innovation, Finally

We took a closer look at two drives in our test lab: The Hitachi-made DeskStar 7K400, which features five platters of up to 80 GB each for an impressive storage capacity of 400 GB. This drive is available with UltraATA/100 and SATA150 interfaces.

The Maxtor MaXLine III arrived along with Intel's LGA775 test platform. Two of these drives were included as reference, as they support Command Queuing (matching ICH6) and because they boast a bulky 16-MB memory buffer.
