HGST CinemaStar P7K500 160GB 160GB IDE/ATA internal hard drive

CinemaStar P7K500 160GB CinemaStar P7K500 for digital video storage needs. Optimized to record multiple, simultaneous video streams, Hitachi SmoothStream technology is enabled to support the ATA-7 streaming command set, and SCT provides time-limited error recovery and thermal monitoring capabilities. Because IT data and video streams have different throughput demands, AV-Zoning allows the definition of various error recovery procedures for redefined ranges of data blocks, or zones. This feature enables the system to efectively deliver critical system data and time-sensitive video content from a single drive. Other features that help tailor this drive for streaming video applications include Read Continuous mode, which helps manage error recovery for video streams, and Media Maintenance enhancements, which help prevent track wear-out from around-the-clock operation.

Leveraging six generations of power management technology, this new reed of video drive delivers best-in-class power management and thermal missions. HiVERT technology was pioneered on 2.5-inch drives to help maximize battery life, but also works for this 3.5-inch hard drive to help minimize power consumption. These standard features on the nemaStar P7K500 enable manufacturers to develop video systems that run cooler and require less power which ultimately leads to longer product life.
