A/V Streaming Feature Set
The Deskstar T7K250 is the second generation Deskstar drive to enable the host system to optimize storage of data. This is achieved by Hitachi’s “Smooth Stream” technology which gives the host control over the drive’s error recovery process. This important ATA-7 Standards feature fine tunes the Deskstar to capture long audio or video data streams.
