Expanding the CinemaStar Family
The CinemaStar™ C5K750 delivers a generous 750GB capacity along with the power
efficiency, quiet operation and features customized to support digital video and
surveillance applications. The C5K750 is the first HGST CE drive with Advanced Format.
Advanced Format increases the physical sector size on hard drives from 512 bytes to 4096
(4K) bytes, which increases drive capacities and improves error correction capabilities.
This fifth generation CinemaStar drive delivers the balance of capacity, low power and
ruggedness to enable manufacturers to provide compact, eco-friendly video systems.
Manufacturers can consult the HGST Advanced Format Technology Brief for more
information on using these drives.
Designed to Support Compact Digital Video Solutions
An exceptional blend of audio/visual (AV) features fine tunes the CinemaStar C5K750
for digital video storage needs. HGST SmoothStream technology supports the ATA-7
streaming command set, and SCT provides time-limited error recovery and thermal
monitoring capabilities. IT data and video streams have different throughput demands,
and 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 C5K750 demonstrates HGST’s ecological leadership with its halogen-free
design and power-efficient operation. Both of these features helped qualify the drive for
the HGST EcoTrac classification, which identifies products that minimize environmental
impact in the areas of product design, manufacturing, operation and disposal.
