Samsung Announces One Terabyte Capacity ''EcoGreen'' Hard Disk Drive for Surveillance and Audio/Video Recording
SEOUL, South Korea--(Business Wire)--
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a worldwide leader in digital
consumer electronics and information technology, today announced its
one terabyte EcoGreen F1 hard drive with low power features. Samsung's
new eco-friendly drive can be adopted as an external hard drive as
well as an internal drive for desktop PCs. It is also ideal for
surveillance applications and for audio and video recording where low
power and stability requirements are critical.
Samsung's EcoGreen F1 hard drive provides a 15 percent power
savings compared to other low-powered one terabyte capacity hard
drives and a 50 percent power reduction against traditional one
terabyte hard drives.
"Since 2003, Samsung's hard disk drives have complied with the
(RoHS) restriction of hazardous substances directive as well as the
(TBBP-A) brominated flame retardant restriction," said T.J. Lee, vice
president of sales & marketing for Samsung Electronics' Storage
Division. " The EcoGreen product line is designed to meet consumer
demand for eco-friendly, high-performance devices with an optimized
cost of ownership advantage."
The EcoGreen F1 hard drive offers the highest capacity per disk
for one terabyte hard drives, at 334GB per platter. This reduces the
number of parts required to operate the hard drive and helps to boost
the drive's speed for overall improved performance.
Samsung's new eco-friendly hard drive utilizes its low noise
operation technology SilentSeek(TM) and NoiseGuard(TM) to achieve a
quiet operation system. A reinforced flying on demand (FOD) technology
controls the distance between the disk and the head, a safety measure
to protect the head and raise the stability of data stored on the
disk.
Samsung's EcoGreen F1 incorporates 5400RPM rotational speeds,
3.0Gbps SATA interface, native command queuing features along with a
32MB buffer memory.
The EcoGreen F1 will launch in the second quarter of 2008 with a
MSRP of $199.00.
