Asus M Series Notebook Integrated With Travelstar 5K500
January 10, 2008 | Asus, Notebook | 1 CommentAsus on CES Las Vegas USA has announced the first 1 terabytes notebook storage with Hitachi Global Storage Technologies collaboration. The new ASUS TravelStar 5K500 feature with 500 GB in 2.5 inch hard drive from Hitachi integrated into the ASUS M series multimedia notebook PC.

The new Asus M50 and M70 will be ship with the Travelstar 5K500 to provide the storage capacity for high definition media and personal data. ASUS consistently strives to provide consumers with the most efficient and powerful notebooks that are both practical and durable. The new M series of notebooks answers the demand for maximum storage in a small portal form factor.
Hitachi have taken some shortcuts with Travelstar 5K500 though. Instead of optimizing the storage density it simply fit an additional platter inside the case. This has boosted storage capacity quite a lot, but also made the drive 3mm thicker than most other models.
