Hitachi has entered a new era, that of halogen-free hard drives.  Hitachi has set a corporate goal to meet or exceed environmental guidelines worldwide, including the complete phase-out of halogens in all new 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA drives in 2009, and reducing the use of halogens in enterprise drives in 2010.

Intel Corporation (Intel) and Hitachi GST have announced plans to jointly develop and deliver Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Fibre Channel (FC) enterprise-class solid-state drives (SSDs) for servers, workstations and storage systems.
The combination of a leading enterprise drive supplier with a NAND technology and manufacturing leader will produce world-class solutions in terms of reliability, performance and system compatibility. The two companies will work together exclusively to deliver enterprise SSDs with SAS and FC interfaces, with the first products expected to be available in early 2010.

This latest design improves idle power consumption up to 43 percent over its 1TB predecessor, which was already among the industry's most energy efficient hard drives. Increased protection against data loss and piracy is provided via Bulk Data Encryption (BDE) which is available as an optional feature on some part numbers. Hitachi's Deskstar E7K1000 is designed to provide high-capacity storage for low-duty-cycle, 24x7 applications and has a 5-year warranty.
