Features and Benefits


Why Serial ATA 3.0Gb/s?

The newly approved SATA specification has standardized three important features:
> 3.0 Gb/s (300 MB/s) interface data rate
> NCQ (native command queuing)
> Staggered (delayed) spin-up

The T7K250 provides all of these enhancements to enable faster data access and better power management to the system. The drive is also backward compatible for those wishing to upgrade their storage of SATA 1.0 systems.

A/V Streaming Feature Set

The Deskstar T7K250 is the second generation Deskstar drive to enable the host system to maximize 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 capture long audio or video data streams.
