• Data security option
  Travelstar Z7K500 is the self-encrypting drive (SED) to feature Hitachi's Bulk Data Encryption (BDE). The SED model encrypts data in real time using protected keys, providing users the highest level of data protection available. It also speeds and simplifies drive re-purposing. By deleting the encryption key, the data on the drive is rendered unreadable, thereby eliminating the need for time-consuming data-overwrite.
• Enhanced Availability (EA) - for 24 x 7 access to data
  Hitachi provides enhanced availability models of the Travelstar Z7K500 that allow 24 x 7 access to data to support applications that require round-the-clock operation. The thinner profile allows for additional cooling, especially important in dense blade server designs. The Z7K500 provides high capacity, durability and quiet acoustics on a proven platform for quality and reliability. EA models support the stringent demands of "always-on" applications in lower transaction environments.
