We all know that there are only a handful of companies who control the hard drive industry and each one of them has their own strength and spotlight product. Hitachi isn’t one of the names that come to mind very quickly, but it is one that is deserving of attention in many cases. Last year, I took a look at Hitachi’s 7K250 desktop SATA hard drive and was completely amazed by the performance offered. Today, I am going to be taking a look at their updated T7K250 drive, which is pretty much the same, but it supports the SATA II specification and is backwards compatible.
