Ramp Load This technology provides a priceless reduction of running costs combined with an extended product service life: parking the driver recording heads off the disk-surface when idle. This breakthrough technology provides significant benefits in reducing power consumption whilst increasing the overall driver reliability. Reducing head wear and improving the non-operational shock tolerance extending product life: all critical design parameters.
SilkStream Optimized for smooth, continuous digital video playback of up to twelve simultaneous HD Streams. Silk Stream is compatible with the ATA streaming command set so CE customers can use standard streaming management and error recovery options.
IntelliSeek Calculates optimum seek speeds to lower power consumption, noise and vibration.
IntelliPark Reduces power consumption by automatically unloading the heads during idle, reducing aerodynamic drag.
IntelliPower A fine-tuned balance of spin speed, transfer rate and caching algorithms designed to deliver both significant power savings and solid performance.
PWL Preemptive War Leveling by the disk’s drive arm: frequent sweep across the disk to reduce uneven wear on the drive surface. Uneven wear is common to audio video streaming applications.
Green Power Green Power Technology reduces power consumption of up to 40%, delivering cool and quiet disk operation and reliability
