Two more world records from Samsung by now. It shrinks its 120Gb and 250Gb HDD to 1.8" and 2.5" respectively. Samsung brings in a 2.5" harddisk drive for the laptops capable of storing 250GB of data and also a 120GB capacity HDD, built for the ipods, of 1.8" thickness. Samsung thus breaks the record of the size barriers with these two products.
The 250GB Spinpoint M5 spins at a speed of 5,400RPM with the transfer rate of 1.5Gbps and comes with 8mn of Cache and 12ms average seek time. Power consumption is just 2W and the drive also spins at a sanity friendly 24dB when idle.
Coming to the 120GB Spinpoint N2, it comes in two variants, UMPC and PMP, 4,200RPM and 3,600RPM models with an average seek time of 15ms consuming power of only 1watt and rumoured that samsung shipping this to the OEMs from july.
The M5 will beat the N2 out the gate since it is already shipping to OEMs (as we know). Samsung is unlikely to hold the 2.5in record for long since Fujitsu has a 300 gigger in the works, but I'm sure the class swot has something up its sleeve...
