Toshiba Multimedia HDDs - Turning on the Power to Digital Freedom
For homes, the ultimate freedom in entertainment besides mobility is the ability to view, stream, compress, edit, caption, skip, pause and store digital content. With Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) or Personal Video Recorders (PVRs), this is becoming a reality in a growing number of households. The increasing demand for DVR functionality can only be fulfilled optimally by hard disk drives. However, not all hard disk drives are equal. Luckily, the days of bulky digital recording boxes are disappearing allowing a new breed of stylish and sleeker DVRs and set-top boxes to hit private living and media rooms. The compacter devices can now feature smaller form factor HDDs boasting a variety of unique technologies designed specifically for the necessary requirements without compromising the storage integrity or capacity.
At Toshiba Storage Device Division, we feature a variety of hard disk drives with the right specifications for the burgeoning digital media market whether it is DVRs, set-top boxes, DVD recorders or integrated storage televisions. Firstly, due to the slimmer chassis design of the actual players, more and more manufacturers are beginning to prefer smaller hard disk drives. Today, Toshiba hard disk drives easily feature up to half-terabyte capacity in the 2.5-inch form factor, which is more than generous, thanks to its pioneering Perpendicular Magnetic Recording technology. Toshiba's range of 2.5-inch hard disk drive allows immense amount of valuable storage space for more entertainment and more fun within the smarter looking digital recording system. Furthermore, 2.5-inch hard disk drives use less energy diminishing operational overheating compared to the traditional 3.5-inch hard disk drives which normally require very noisy cooling mechanisms. Home entertainment viewers do agree that there is nothing worse than having spectacular home theatre equipment such as sophisticated sound system only to be disturbed by background operating noise. In addition, Toshiba also features a range of super-quiet drives which are perfectly suited for storing digital and audio media without any concurring engineering acoustics.
