Other highlights include proven sixth-generation HDD technology, 1TB capacity, the industry's highest shocktolerance, a halogen-free design for an eco-friendly footprint, and low power consumption for sturdy unplugged notebook performance.
Hybrid hard drives combine NAND flash and magnetic disks, simplifying storage-element integration for OEM customers and providing a host of end user benefits: superior performance, responsiveness, lower power consumption, greater operating shocktolerance, and data protection.
While the swifter SATA drives will likely benchmark a bit better than the PATA counterparts, both versions sport perpendicular magnetic recording to prevent data corruption, as well as "industry leading free-fall sensors" that pack 700G of operating shocktolerance.
