A/V Streaming Feature Set
The Deskstar 7K80 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
record and play multiple standard definition
and high definition video streams.
