E-mail Print
Hitachi sent out a press release earlier today, announcing two new CinemaStar hard drives. Developed for use in digital video recorders (DVRs) and set-top boxes, the CinemaStar 7K1000.B and 5K320 are optimized to run cooler, quieter and use less power.

Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (Hitachi) today introduced two new CinemaStar™ hard drives optimized for use in digital video recorders (DVRs) and set-top boxes. The CinemaStar™ 7K1000.B is available in a broad range of capacities up to one terabyte (1TB) and the CinemaStar 5K320 delivers up to 320GB of capacity and incorporates innovative Hitachi CoolSpin™ technology.


CoolSpin drives use a motor speed optimized for low power and acoustics, enabling Hitachi to deliver the industry’s quietest, most energy-efficient 3.5-inch hard drives. Hitachi CoolSpin enables a new generation of DVRs and set-top boxes that store more hours of video, run more quietly and use less power.

The CinemaStar 7K1000.B will begin shipping in August and the CinemaStar 5K320 is expected to ship in September, 2008. More information on both drives can be found here.
