Samsung have annouced the latest hard disk drive in their EcoGreen range in the form of the HD103UI EcoGreen F1 1TB hard disk drive which, according to Samsung, can be used as both an internal unit and external unit for desktops and offers up to 50% reduced power consumption in comparison to standard 1TB HDDs and around 15% less power than other low-powered 1TB HDDs.
Introduced by T.J. Lee, vice president of sales & marketing for Samsung Electronics’ Storage Division, Samsung’s new 5400rpm, 3.0Gbps SATA EcoGreen F1 1TB hard disk drive offers the highest capacity per disk for one terabyte hard drives, at 334GB per platter, this reducing the number of components required whilst also serving to increase the drive speed, leading to improved performance regardless of the drive’s reduced power requirements. Additionally the new EcoGreen F1 1TB hard disk drive also comes with SilentSeek and NoiseGuard technologies ensuring quiet operation and 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’.
