Hitachi today announced that LG Electronics will use Hitachi Deskstar hard drives in its new RH7800 series of DVD-HDD Recorders.

The RH7800 series use 160 GB hard drives for storing up to 220 hours of digital video content, including television programs, movies, music and photos. Hitachi Deskstar drives were chosen for their substantial capacities, ability to handle multiple video streams simultaneously, quiet acoustics, low power requirements and overall reliability.

LG’s new DVD-HDD Recorders, which measure a slim 49 millimeters, allow customers to maximize their entertainment experience by easily recording and playing back television broadcasts and other digital video content. LG relied on Hitachi’s “Smooth Stream” technology to enhance the video streaming functionality in its new DVD-HDD Recorders.
