Sony PHU-120K

Internal shock absorbers. The disk drive itself is suspended inside the PHU-60K chassis by Sony's specially engineered dampers that help protect against shock.

CyberCapture technology. Unlike PC data, audio/video recording requires consistent, sustained transfer speeds. Sony’s CyberCapture technology is designed to compensate for potential variations in performance to achieve sustained transfer speeds.

3G shock detection. As in a laptop PC, this system senses a potential shock and temporarily “parks” the read/write heads away from the hard disk surface, to help protect the disk from damage.

Shock resistant memory. Should shock or vibration become severe enough to disrupt recording, incoming data is automatically stored in 7 seconds of buffer memory. This gives the unit the chance to recover and continue recording as if nothing had happened.

Salvage function. In the event of a power interruption, the data salvage function of the camcorder minimizes lost footage. While performance varies according to conditions, typically only the last few seconds of material is affected.
