Hikvision Sata DVR HDD

Hikvision decisively made an important decision that all its DVR HDD extensively converted into Sata, for which Hikvision has its own prospect.

Sata, which was designed as a successor to the Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA) standard, possesses obvious advantages over the older IDE - speed: faster data transfer at 300 mbps (Sata 2.0) vs. 133 mbps (IDE); hot swappable: ability to remove or add devices while operating; air flow: thinner cables that let air-cooling work more efficiently; and reliability: stronger correction capability, more reliable operation with tighter data integrity checks.

Alongside the above references, what the most reasonable is, the product lines of IDE are expected to shut down eventually, and Sata is an inevitable trend to replace IDE. Based on TI's DSP chip and advanced technology, Hikvision has simply shifted to the superior Sata HDD with its easy Sata interface and flexible internal programming to offer more competitive Sata DVR than those whose chips are based on ASIC technology which would spend further long cycle and high cost to transit.

Hikvision products are available from Pinnacle and Regal.
