Designed for on-demand digital video solutions
An exceptional blend of audio/visual (AV) features fine tunes the CinemaStar 7K1000.C for
digital video storage needs. Optimized to record multiple, simultaneous video streams, Hitachi
SmoothStream technology supports 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 predefined ranges of data blocks or zones to enable the system to
effectively deliver critical data and time‑sensitive video content from a single drive. Other fea‑
tures 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,
preventing track wear‑out from around‑the‑clock operation.
Less power for cooler operation and longer life
Leveraging eighth generation power management technology, as well as power‑saving HiVERT
innovations pioneered on Hitachi 2.5‑inch notebook drives, this new CinemaStar hard drive
provides up to 18% idle power savings over the previous model, delivering best‑in‑class power
management and thermal emissions. These standard features on the CinemaStar 7K1000.C
enable manufacturers to develop surveillance systems and home digital video recorders that
run cooler and require less power which ultimately leads to longer product life.
Robust technology for a more sustainable environment
All CinemaStar products are enhanced with silent‑seek acoustics to deliver bedroom‑quiet
operation, and the Hitachi patented load/unload ramp mechanism that helps prevent disk
wear and protects the disk during non‑operation. The CinemaStar 7K1000.C demonstrates our
ecological leadership with its halogen‑free design and power‑efficient operation. These features
helped qualify the drive for Hitachi’s EcoTrac classification, identifying products that minimize
environmental impact in areas of design, manufacturing, operation and disposal.

1 One GB is equal to one billion bytes and one TB equals 1,000GB
(one trillion bytes) when referring to hard drive capacity. Accessible
capacity may be less.
2 Based on typical AV multi‑stream recording environments accumulating
up to 2000 hours of HD content per month or equivalent workload.
3 This MTBF target is based on a sample population in typical CE/
surveillance product environment and is estimated by statistical
measurements and acceleration algorithms under normal operating
conditions. MTBF ratings do not predict reliability of an individual drive.
