A different spin for digital video
The CinemaStar 5K1000 hard drive provides a generous 1TB capacity and features innovative CoolSpin technology to deliver a new level of power efficiency and quiet operation for digital video applications. Key to CoolSpin technology is an optimization of motor speed to provide an ideal balance of performance, power utilization and acoustics. With customized features, capacity and cool operation, the 3.5-inch CinemaStar 5K1000 enables a new generation of digital video recorders and set-top boxes that store more hours of video, run more quietly and use less power.

Designed to support on-demand digital video solutions
An exceptional blend of audio/visual (AV) features fine tunes the CinemaStar 5K1000 for digital video storage needs. 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 features that tailor this drive for streaming video applications include Read Continuous mode, which helps manage error recovery for video streams, and Media Maintenance enhancements, to help prevent track wear-out from around-the-clock operation.

Innovation for a more sustainable environment
The CinemaStar 5K1000 demonstrates Hitachi’s ecological leadership with its halogen-free design and power-efficient operation. Both these features helped qualify the drive for the Hitachi EcoTrac classification, which identifies products that minimize environmental impact in the areas of product design, manufacturing, operation and disposal.

Power efficient for cooler operation and longer life
CoolSpin and HiVERT technologies combine to create this new class of CE drive that delivers best-of-breed power utilization and thermal emissions. HiVERT technology, pioneered on Hitachi 2.5-inch drives, helps efficiently manage power consumption. These innovations, together with sixth-generation Advanced Power Management, make the CinemaStar 5K1000 the ideal choice for digital video recorders that run cooler, require less power and last longer.
