A few days ago, HGST broke the news of their latest most impressive Hard Disk Drive. The official announcement of a new 1TB Travelstar drive wasn’t much of a surprise as it has already been long-awaited.
“The 7.0 mm 2.5-inch mobile market continues to be a strategic space for HGST as evidenced by our record 100M shipments,” said Brendan Collins, vice president of product marketing, HGST. “With the addition of our new 1TB Travelstar Z5K1000, HGST continues to offer the market’s broadest 5,400 and 7,200 RPM 7.0 mm 2.5-inch hard drive portfolio to meet the needs of a diverse mobile computing and storage segment.”
The 1TB variant, Travelstar Z5K1000 is believed to offer a spin rate of 5400rpm, 32MB cache, and will use the standard SATA 6Gbps interface. The drive weighs just 95g. With the 1TB Travelstar drive, OEMs will have greater flexibility and freedom in designing their products.

Please suggest me also a best quality hard-Disk for my Destop computer
I have always gone with Western Digital for all my hard disk drive needs, your mentioning desktop means that what you are actually looking at is an internal hdd right?
In that case you can easily go with any of Samsung, Kingston or Western digital products.
Toshiba drives aren’t bad too, so it all boils down to the brand that offers better support in your location
