Three-disk design provides higher capacity with 180GB at
7200rpm performance
The 8MB buffer enables faster data processing, especially for
long block transfers.
Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) motors enhance idle and
operating acoustic operation
Thermal monitor helps provide accurate data read/write over the
full system temperature range

Deskstar family.The new family of drives
incorporates both new and proven tech-
nologies to boost system performance.
The Deskstar180GXP provides the
capacity and performance required to
handle a wide range of advanced desktop
and audio/video applications.
Enhanced servo system provides fast,
reliable head positioning.
True-Track Servo
No-ID sector formatting
The superior areal density combines with
the faster processor and streamlined
cache buffer to enable award-winning
performance for both the Deskstar hard
drive and your system.Enhancements to
the servo system and thermal monitor
help to enable accurate data storage and
retrieval.
Fluid Dynamic Bearing motors provide
improved acoustics over traditional ball
bearing spindle motors.FDB motors will
continue to be used more frequently in
hard disk drive designs,particularly in
applications requiring very high spindle
speeds,high areal densities,and low
acoustic noise.
Hitachi has standardized features in their
desktop drives to supply lower acoustics,
faster transfer rates and low-power utiliza-
tion to make the Deskstar180GXP drive
ideal for non-PC,high-performance com-
puting requirements.
Technology for capacity and
performance
Combined together,these technologies
enable popular capacity points and are
designed to increase reliability.
The Hitachi Deskstar180GXP matches
the drive capacity and performance
guidelines for MicrosoftWindows XP-
(40GB minimum and 7200rpm
performance).
Three-disk design provides a higher
capacity with180GB at 7200rpm
