High Capacity HDD High-capacity HDD to Increase Productivity for Professionals Typically, 10 Gigabytes is required to produce a new catalogue for backup files. When several persons are working together, it is more efficient and convenient to keep the backup files on the HDD rather than on other media, such as CD RW media and floppy disks. Therefore, the capacity of the HDD can directly affect the productivity levels of graphic arts professionals, such as graphic designers.

NoiseGuard Samsung has developed and applied NoiseGuard™ technology that is a combined technology to eliminate each noise source or to minimize energy transmission. First, modification of the spindle motor's design minimizes the noise source. In addition, the cover is designed to optimize the flow of air. The Damper utilizes vibration absorbing material, installed on the area of highest density, which maximizes the transmission of energy to the outside.

ImpacGuard ImpacGuard™, Samsung's patented technology, is designed to prevent any head actuator vibration during a non-operating environment, which reduces the possibility of collision between the head and the disk even further. Besides, HDD parts can also fail due to corrosion or contamination. Samsung analyzed and eliminated these kinds of problems, at the source, and in advance, by applying the best failure analysis technology adapted from our experience in the semi- conductor business. For example, the microscopic pin holes on the disk surface causes corrosion, which then causes one type of hardware failure. Samsung analyzed this fact to solve the problem in cooperation with our disk component suppliers.

SilentSeek
Samsung set out to minimize the data seeking noise that has always irritated users, we have developed and applied SilentSeek™ technology, which makes the movement of the head actuator much smoother. While other competing technologies, such as the AAM option, cause performance degradation to lower the noise level, Samsung's SilentSeek™ technology causes virtually no degradation in performance.
