Reduced power idle modes
Unique to Hitachi drives, the CinemaStar 
7K1000 features three advanced low-power 
idle modes – active, unload and low-power. 
Together, they reduce power consumption at 
the drive level up to 20%, optimize non- 
operational latency and lower drive tempera-
ture for cooler system operation. 
Outstanding shock resistance and power 
efficiency
Through a patented ramp load/unload design 
disk heads (in non-operating modes) are  
unloaded to a ramp outside the disk where 
they rest in a low-power ‘unload idle’ state 
until activated. In low RPM drives, this can 
reduce power by up to 50%.  Ramp load/ 
unload provides tangible benefits for the drive 
and end product. It greatly minimizes the risk 
of shock damage by eliminating direct con-
tact between the heads and disks. Reduced 
wear and heat improve overall drive reliability. 
In the event of power loss to the drive, heads 
are unloaded using energy extracted from the 
spinning disks. This patented power-saving 
feature helps to reduce overall maintenance 
costs and extends the drive service life.  
Another contributor to CinemaStar 7K100’s 
exceptional shock performance and power 
savings is the use of compact, low-mass 
femto air-bearing sliders.
Extended field reliability
An integrated thermal sensor monitors operat-
ing temperature, enabling the host processor 
to intelligently adjust airflow as needed for 
cooling. Sensor integration reduces compo-
nent cost and increases reliability. 
CinemaStar 7K1000’s thermal fly-height 
control (TFC) uses an integrated heating ele-
An industry first, the Hitachi CinemaStar™ 
7K1000 hard disk drive delivers up to one 
terabyte of storage capacity for demanding 
consumer electronics (CE) devices. It leverages 
the industry’s most reliable perpendicular 
magnetic recording (PMR) techniques and 
the latest advancements in silent acoustics, 
shock protection, and head technology to 
maximize capacity, performance and reliability. 
Best-in-class power management and thermal 
emissions help manufacturers meet energy 
compliance targets and extend drive life. 
Optimized for exceptional quality of service 
(QoS) in streaming applications, CinemaStar 
7K1000 is ideal for recording and playback of 
today’s high-definition (HD) formats.
Proven PMR technology 
Field-proven in 2.5-in. drives, Hitachi’s PMR 
implementation continues to demonstrate 
reliability equal to or exceeding conventional 
longitudinal technology. The CinemaStar 
7K1000’s second-generation PMR head and 
media technology improve noise characteris-
tics and thermal stability. 
Exceptional streaming audio/video
CinemaStar 7K1000’s advanced firmware 
improves data integrity and optimizes QoS to 
meet the deadlines in streaming applications. 
Together, the SMART command transport 
protocol and Hitachi Smoothstream™ tech-
nology minimize disruptions in stream delivery 
by adapting buffer management behavior and 
error recovery timing to match the characteris- 
tics of typical streaming applications. 
Silent seek acoustics
Optimized for ultra-quiet operation, sound 
emissions during idle and seek operations 
are virtually undetectable by the human ear.  
There’s no disruption to entertainment or to 
other activities during background recording.
