The Samsung Spinpoint F1 is the first three-disk hard drive delivering a whopping 1TB of 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 500GB drives or a four- or five-disk solution. Compared to a five-disk 1TB solution, the F1 Series consumes 13-16% less power and offers up to 20% faster performance. This 3.0Gbps SATA drive has a maximum of 334GB of formatted capacity per disk while also featuring Samsung’s industry-leading NoiseGuard™ and SilentSeek™ technologies to eliminate acoustic noise. The Spinpoint F1 utilizes Samsung perpendicular recording technology, which helps the drive set new records in both areal density and platter capacity.
