Samsung Hard Disk Drive 2007 Product Guide
Capture the World Market with the best Quality
here were enormous changes in the HDD industry in the past decade. The excessive competition among companies
had resulted in an industry wide deterioration of profitability for some time. With large scale restructuring of the industry, Samsung Electronics succeeded in turning around an important yet unprofitable HDD business into a profitable and dynamic one. The improved product competitiveness and commitment to reliability are the keys we relied on to achieve great success in such a difficult market environment. Especially noteworthy, are the critical investments Samsung made years ago to ensure the highest qualities of its products. These investments paid great dividends, and Samsung earned a notable reputation from major OEMs with unmatched high quality standards. We have also succeeded in expanding the product line-up from 3.5inch to 2.5inch hdd. In addition, paradigm changes in the storage business environment open ample opportunity for Samsung to arise as a total storage solution leader in the industry. Digital convergence trends of IT and consumer electronics dims the boundary between these two different business areas. Samsung, with its well-known CE business experiences, take advantages that no HDD companies can nourish. Hereby, we contributed to achieving a perfect AV environment of PC by our success in developing acoustic noise suppression technologies such as NoiseGuard TM and SilentSeekTM. Samsung will continue to seek ways to leverage our productive R&D efforts, as always. Samsung plans to accelerate current business momentum with innovations in competitiveness such as best product reliability, fast time-to-market, superior performance, and a noiseless operation environment.
Behold the High Capacity Hard Disk Drive
hen the 140MB HDD was introduced in 1973,
no one would have even imagined the current 500
Gigabytes HDD in production today. The complexity of programs, and popular use of graphic / AV applications, 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 a built-in PVR feature, allows the user to use the instant playback function on their PCs, without purchasing any separate PVR devices. With a 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 a single PC. The high-capacity 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. Therefore, the capacity of the HDD can directly affect the productivity levels of professionals, such as graphic designers.
The Perfect AV Environment with Noiseless Hard Disk Drive
here is an emerging trend to produce PCs focused 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 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 case of the CPU cooling fan that generates constant noise in idle mode, recent 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 highpitched 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 smoother. While other competing technologies, such as the AAM option, cause performance degradation to lower the noise level, Samsung's SilentSeekTM technology causes virtually no degradation in performance.
Maximize the Confidence in Data Storage
hen the monitor, CD-ROM or RAM malfunctions, the problem is limited to that particular part. However,
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 the collision of the head and disk, a result of the shock that occurs during the 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 he shock-resistance without the degradation of the performance. ImpacGuard TM, 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 infinitesimal misalignment can cause the head to scratch the disk. With the most advanced automated manufacturing line in the industry, Samsung minimizes this potential quality deviation that is possible by changes in the manufacturing process. In addition, our specialized technology for HDD manufacturing is applied in the quality assurance stage of production. As a result, our customers are allowed to focus on their core business, reliably, in the most stable storage environment available, anywhere on earth.

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) refers to a leading product that incorporates the advantages of flash into the hard disk drive, satisfying the requirements like energy consumption and reduced boot time. HHDD adds NV Cache ( Non-Volatile Cache ) to the conventional hard disk drive; significantly improving the read and write caching functions for the enhancement of data input/output as well as the computer's overall capacity. Indeed, this is the first type to combine a magnetic storage device with digital 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 power 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 spinup, 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 headmedia 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).
