inevitably makes the PC user to consider the capacity of HDD  
as an important factor in selecting the PC along with the CPU  
speed and the size of RAM memory. To address this change in  
the market, Samsung has succeeded in producing the 500 Gigabytes hard disk drive,  
constructed from three 166 Gigabytes per platter disks. This page will describe how this  
high-capacity HDD now provides a new world of enjoyment and convenience to users.  
AV Environment in PC With the rapid distribution of the PC and the Internet, more  
and more users want to implement AV features of TV, VTR, and Recorder in their PCs.  
Especially, in cases of users in urban areas, they prefer to purchase the PC with AV  
features, instead of buying other electronic appliances, to make most out of limited  
living spaces. This has enabled PCs with AV features, such as TV and PVR, to emerge in  
the market. For example, a PC with  
instant playback function on their PCs, without purchasing any separate PVR devices.  
With 160 to 500 Gigabytes high-capacity HDD, they can also store and edit many  
movies on their PCs. The consequence is that consumers can enjoy almost all AV features,  
such as music, movies, Internet, and TV programs, with single PC. The high-capacity  
a
built-in PVR feature, allows the user to use the  
a
a
HDD allows users to store more movies and music titles on their PCs, and has dramatically  
increased the range and quality of the PC experience for users.  
Increase of PVR demand. When we think of HDD, we usually think of storage  
mechanism in IT devices. Now, we can find this storage mechanism in device like Personal  
video Recorder. More and more people tend to store their favorite movies, sports games,  
and TV shows in their homes. With PVR, they can simply download these contents into  
HDD inside it. Increasing demand of multimedia contents automatically increase the  
demand for storage space to store.  
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 and floppy disks.

here is an emerging trend to produce PCs focused  
T
on AV, that seeks to maximize the efficiency of the AV  
function through the Internet. For example, this kind of PC  
would feature high-performance audio equipment such as  
20W 2-way speaker to create better sound effects, and even a  
built-in PVR function. What if the PC, designed around high  
end AV features, was found to generate too much noise? It

w ith Noiseless Hard Disk Drive  
would be a significant problem.  
Major Index of Quality for PC Recently, acoustic noise level has become the major  
index of quality for many home appliances, such as air-conditioners and refrigerators.  
The cooling fan of the CPU and HDD are major parts in the PC that generate noise. In  
ca se o f t h e CPU co o lin g fa n t h a t g e n e ra t e s co n st a n t n o ise in id le m o d e , re ce n t  
improvements in design have significantly reduced noise levels. Further, a new PC  
without a CPU cooling fan has been introduced to eliminate this kind of noise. A HDD  
usually generates 2.8 to 3.3 Bels in idle mode, and 3.0 to 3.5 Bels in seek mode. This level  
of noise can cause distraction and annoyance to users, since many of them use their PC in  
quiet environments, such as at night, where 3.0 Bels or less noise levels are typical.  
The Cause of HDD noise The HDD generates different noise characteristics by the  
frequency level. The biggest source of the noise is the spindle motor which generates  
vibration from its rotating motor. The vibration is transferred to the outside of the HDD  
and causes the noise. Also, the flow of air inside HDD caused by disk rotation can create  
noise. During seek mode, the movement of the head actuator generates a very high-  
pitched noise, familiar to all PC owners.  
Noise GuardTM and SilentseekTM Technologies Samsung has developed and applied  
NoiseGuardTM 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. Furthermore, to  
minimize the data seeking noise that has always irritated users, we have developed and  
applied SilentSeekTM technology, which makes the movement of the head actuator much

causes virtually no degradation in performance.

Maximize the Confidence  
in Data Storage  
malfunction in the HDD means far more greater problems in  
other components. It is because most PC users consider their  
HDD as the final storage device for their data. Therefore,  
damage in the HDD generally causes enormous intellectual  
property loss. This makes PC manufacturers consider the HDD  
as the most important component to prevent hardware failure and data loss, as well as  
the brand image loss that would soon follow. Samsung Electronics recognizes that  
product reliability is the most important aspect of our business, and answers the needs of  
PC manufacturers, while it leverages our most strategic investments. As a result, the  
Samsung HDD has been recognized as the most reliable products by major PC OEM  
manufacturers, which has advanced Samsung's global OEM position. This page provides a  
brief description of how Samsung improved product reliability.  
It would have been impossible to achieve the recent advances in the high product  
reliability of our HDD product by improving single aspects of the technology or process.  
Therefore, it could only be achieved by innovation of the entire process from the product  
design to quality assurance. The most frequent problem that causes HDD malfunction is

transporting or installation of the HDD. Therefore, reducing the possibility of collision  
between the head and the disk was seen by Samsung to be very important, if significant  
enhancement of product reliability was to be achieved. By optimizing the head actuator  
design in the early product design stage, Samsung eventually succeeded in maximizing

,
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. Automation of the manufacturing process was inescapable, since the HDD  
consists of microscopic parts using  
a
micrometer. For example, four screws are used to  
assemble the disk onto the HDD. When this process is performed by manual labor, the  
torques for each screw will be different, which, in turn, causes minute, but critical,  
distortions of the disk. Also, when assembling the head actuator onto the disk, even an

addition, our specialized technology for HDD manufacturing is applied in the quality

Overview  
Along with the development of mobile applications, mobile storage media is fast emerging as a hot  
issue. The growing trend toward mobility can easily be witnessed at some companies where  
employees are provided with notebook computers so that they can move to conference rooms at  
their convenience. This is just one example, but it is clear that today there is a demand for improved  
mobility. At the center of this issue is the hard disk. Mobile applications require several features from  
hard disks, including low energy consumption and the ability to absorb external shock. These  
requirements are especially important in the case of notebook computers. Other features required by  
users of personal computers include fast boot times and data stability. Hybrid hard disk drive (HHDD)

semiconductor. Unlike the hard disk drive, which requires a certain rotational speed (5400 RPM) in  
order to boot, HHDD stores the boot-related data in a built-in flash cache memory. This enables an  
ultra fast boot time of less than five seconds: a remarkable achievement compared to the current  
standard of between 20 and 30 seconds. Additionally, battery life is expected to increase by  
approximately 20-50 minutes.

Hybrid Disk Drive Benefits  
The benefits of the Hybrid HDD  
1. Reduced boot time and improved system capacity  
HHDD has flash memory playing a supplementary role to DRAM in order to dramatically reduce the  
boot time and improve system capacity. As the read-function of flash memory is much faster than  
that of a hard disk drive, it is possible to have the boot image file for a personal computer or other  
user files stored using the flash beforehand and read in order to achieve a faster system speed. This is  
particularly valuable for an OS that employs a 3D interface, such as Windows Vista.  
2. Reduced pow er consumption.  
HHDD uses less electricity. Through the OS paging-out process (virtual memory manager stores  
unnecessary data onto the hard disk drive), personal computers regularly write data onto the hard  
disk drive. In other words, every time data is stored the hard disk drive, the hard drive needs to spin-  
up, consuming electricity: the more frequent the writing, the more electricity is consumed. HHDD,  
however, enables write-caching of regular data using flash memory in order to minimize the need for  
the hard disk drive to spin-up, thereby reducing the system's overall power consumption.  
3. Improved durability and reliability  
HHDD offers improved durability and reliability. Insofar as the need for the HDD to spin-up is  
minimized, this also serves to shorten the duty cycle of the HDD, lowering the probability of head-  
media collisions and errors (off-track write, etc). This can lead to increasing the MTBF.

What is PMR?  
PMR Technology  
Growth of the HDD industry has in the past been explosive, as recording density effectively doubled  
each year. But since 2003 this growth rate has radically slowed down, leveling off at about 30-40% a  
year. This slowdown has been attributed to difficulties in further increasing the density to meet  
continuing demands for ever-higher recording density. As a result, the HDD industry has continued to  
devise new technologies capable of allowing for higher recording densities. One such technology is  
the recording method known as PMR (Perpendicular Magnetic Recording).  
Technology Overview  
PMR (Perpendicular Magnetic Recording) and LMR (Longitudinal Magnetic Recording) are recording  
methods. As indicated by their names, PMR arranges magnetized cells vertically while LMR does so in  
a horizontal fashion. This vertical arrangement allows PMR to record a greater number of data bits in  
the same area. The primary reason why density is limited through LMR is a result of what is called  
superparamagnetism. Superparamagnetism refers to the phenomenon by which magnetized  
materials move closer as the density increases, to the point where they eventually interfere with one  
another. As magnetized cells become unstable and as their magnetism changes direction, any stored  
data can be rendered unusable. By avoiding superparamagnetism, PMR enables one to further  
increase recording density. It is believed that PMR will reach a maximum recording density of 1 TB/in2  
(LMR: 200 GB/in2).
