The disc is made up from three panels that rotate at 5,400 rpm and has a 32MB cache and interface SATA 6 Gb/s. HGST highlights the low power consumption, durability and resistance to shock (400 G/2 ms when operating and 1,000 G/1 ms when transferring) and the subsequent availability of selfcrypting models (TCG Opal specification) and EA versions for servers, networking equipment, video surveillance systems and similar applications.

 Standard version of Travelstar 5K1500 should be found in sales during the next month, while selfcrypting and EA version will be available in the third quarter of this year.
