| Samsung Announces Its New Spinpoint MP2 Hard Drive Samsung Electronics has announced its new premium Spinpoint MP2, a 250GB 2.5" hard drive consisting of two 125GB disks. Operating at a 7200rpm rotation speed, the MP2 is suited for high performance, desktop replacement notebook PCs, and entry-level enterprise applications such as workstations and RAID or blade servers. In step with the surging growth of multimedia content and the demand for smaller form factor devices, 2.5" drives have been developed to meet the stringent environmental demands of notebook PCs and slim form factor desktop PCs. The high performance characteristic of Samsung's MP2 expands the scope of applications for 2.5" drives to entry-level enterprise applications. The Spinpoint MP2 features 7200rpm speed rotation, SATA II 3.0 Gbps interface and Native Command Queuing functions for advanced performance. Samsung's proprietary SilentSeek and NoiseGuard technologies are incorporated in the drive to offer ultra quiet operation. An optional Free Fall Sensor is also available for data protection in case of any unexpected external impact. The Spinpoint MP2 drive has a 16MB buffer memory and is available in 80GB to 250GB capacities. Initial shipments will be available to key OEM manufacturers from March 2008. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Computing News :: home page |
