Cars are getting crammed with more and more technology with each passing day, with functions such as navigation, multimedia, and communications being taken over by an on-board computer. This leads to the issue of having a decent amount of storage space which can withstand the rigors of everyday driving. Hitachi Global Storage Technologies caters to the need for tough hard drives by announcing the hardy Endurastar K4K50 which functions perfectly even in temperatures as low as below 22 degrees Fahrenheit or as high as 185 degrees. You can even take your vehicle as high as 5,000 meters above sea level or 300 meters below sea level, and the hard drive will run without a hitch. The Endurastar N4K50 is less hardy, operating at temperatures ranging from minus 3 degrees to 158 degrees Fahrenheit, and at altitudes up to 3,000 meters.
