Hitachi Global Storage Technologies has created what it calls an “industry milestone:” a 2.5-inch computer hard drive capable of storing a whopping 500 GB of data. It also has struck a deal with computer vendor Asus, which will sell a notebook PC equipped with two of the drives. The new Travelstar 5K500 drive, which Hitachi believes is the world’s first 500 GB, 2.5-inch drive, will be available next month. An “enhanced-availability” version called the Travelstar E5K500, will be sold by the end of the second quarter, said Hitachi.
