Hitachi GST unveils new CinemaStar hard drives
The latter drive in particular features the company’s CoolSpin Technology, which supposedly relies on motor speed optimization to provide a balance of performance, power utilization and acoustics. According to Hitachi GST, this enables the CinemaStar 5K1000 CoolSpin to consume less than three watts at idle and operate nearly silent at 2.4 bels, although the company is not giving an exact spec on rotational speeds.
The 7K1000.C spins at 7,200 rpm and the 1TB capacity will allow both drives to store up to 250 hours of MPEG-4 video and handle multiple simultaneous streams. The CinemaStar 7K1000.C and 5K1000 will be available in volume starting Q4 2009, but pricing has yet to be revealed.

Let us hope that Hitachi finally has gotten its act together after five years of mostly horrible drives, and three years of truly awful ones. We need Hitachi doing well, because of their size around the world. Going back to the IBM days, it is difficult to remember any one line of Hitachi hard drives that was a good risk.... Too many failures. Too many clients ready to kill me. |
