Better Reliability, Less Energy Consumption
Than Other Options

The Samsung Spinpoint F1 delivers high capacity along with sophisticated recording technology. With its compact, lightweight package and advanced design, the F1 drive offers many advantages for high-density applications compared to using two drives or a four- or five-disk solution. Compared to a five-disk solution, the F1 Series consumes 13-16% less power and provides up to 20% faster performance.

This 3Gbps SATA drive has a maximum of 334GB of formatted capacity per disk while also featuring Samsung’s industry-leading NoiseGuardTM and SilentSeek™, technologies to eliminate acoustic noise. The Spinpoint F1 utilizes Samsung-developed perpendicular recording technology, which helps the drive set new records in both areal density and platter capacity.

Reliability Beats Competition

The Spinpoint F1 requires fewer components than competing solutions with four or five disks. With fewer heads and disks, the F1 statistically has a lower probability of headdisk failures. According to estimates, this Samsung drive has a 50% lower failure rate than a two-drive solutions and as much as 31% fewer failures than five-platter drives.

Special Features for High-density Applications

For consumer applications, a power-saving code reduces power consumption while AV-optimized firmware cuts time delays during AV data recording. In general, the Samsung drive offers a superior combination of density, recording quality and reliability.
