Hitachi Travelstar 5K500.B was a hard drive product family by Hitachi. It is Hitachi's second 500 GB 2.5" hard drive family, and the first to do so in the conventional 9.5 mm z-height (the earlier Hitachi Travelstar 5K500 had to push the z-height to 12.5 mm in order to fit 500 GB). It succeeds the Hitachi Travelstar 5K320, pushing the density to 250 GB/platter except in 160 GB models. Similar families from other manufacturers include the Fujitsu Hornet M250, the Mercury platform Western Digital Scorpio Blue members, Seagate Momentus 5400.6, Toshiba MKxx52GSX and Samsung Spinpoint M7.
