Expanding the CinemaStar family
CinemaStar™ Z5K320 is a new 7mm, 5400 RPM, 2.5-inch consumer electronics hard drive
with capacities from 160GB to 320GB. The 320GB per platter one-disk models have been
customized to support digital video and surveillance applications. The slimmer Z5K320 is
designed as a direct replacement for standard 9.5mm HDD and is well suited for TV integration
and portable video products. Hitachi SmoothStream technology supports the ATA-7 streaming
command set, and SCT provides time-limited error recovery and thermal monitoring capabilities.
CinemaStar Z5K320 is offered with silent-seek acoustics for excellent sound quality. With
outstanding acoustics, Hitachi continues to provide near silent operation to make the
Z5K320 an ideal choice for home DVR applications and surveillance systems. The Z5K320
demonstrates Hitachi’s ecological leadership with its halogen-free production and focus on
low power consumption, and carries the Hitachi EcoTrac classification. This fifth generation
2.5-inch CinemaStar drive delivers the right balance of capacity, power-management and
ruggedness to provide manufacturers with more design flexibility for next-generation
ultra-compact video systems.
Reliability leadership
CinemaStar Z5K320 elevates hard drive reliability to new levels with an improved protection
scheme for power fluctuation and enhanced TFC for improved error rates. 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 on any size system.
