Expanding the CinemaStar family

CinemaStar™ C5K320 is the newest Hitachi 5400 RPM, 2.5-inch consumer electronics hard

drive with capacities from 120GB to 320GB. The 160GB/platter one- and two-disk models

have been customized to support digital video and surveillance applications. In addition to

improved Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR) head technology and other reliability-fo-

cused enhancements, Hitachi SmoothStream technology supports the ATA-7 streaming com-

mand set, and SCT provides time-limited error recovery and thermal monitoring capabilities.

CinemaStar C5K320 is offered with silent-seek acoustics for ultra-quiet operation. Hitachi

continues to provide low-power leadership and cool-running operation to make the C5K320

an ideal choice for surveillance systems and home DVR applications. This third generation

compact CinemaStar drive expands the Hitachi product lineup to provide manufacturers with

more energy-efficient options for next-generation slim video systems.

Reliability leadership

Hitachi has enhanced TFC for improved error rates and tunneling magneto-resistive (TMR)

read heads for enhanced data reliability on the CinemaStar C5K320. Hitachi offers customers

system design and integration services including, but not limited to hard drive selection,

optimization, software compatibility assessment, performance profiling and problem analysis

and reliability consultation. Team Hitachi is ready to help you deliver a successful video device.

The Hitachi CinemaStar product line is optimized for video applications for any size system.
