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.

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/in (LMR: 200 GB/in ).

Samsungs 1.8 HDD has a single 80GB platter enabled by PMR (Perpendicular Magnetic Recording) technology. Storing mass data in a single slim disk enhances portability. Users on the move can comfortably enjoy TV episodes, audio books, photo albums and their entire music library on their mobile devices. All this personal entertainment is made possible by the high capacity of this 1.8 HDD.
2. Enhanced shock resistance
By modifying the cover and head-stack design, the Samsung 1.8 HDD has better stiffness and enhanced resistance to shock, which are the critical factors to consumers for their mobile devices. In addition, the new HDD incorporates FFS (Free Fall Sensors), which respond to host commands and offer protection when the drive falls.

3. Quiet operation

Noise is among the biggest issues for HDDs in portable audio/video applications. No one wants to hear the clicking sounds of the HDD while listening to music or recording videos. With its innovative grooved cover design, the 1.8 HDD prevents acoustic noise from leaking out. In addition, Samsung's SilentSeek technology controls the actuator and thus reduces noise.
Can't play without N Series.
4. Lower power consumption
The SoC (System on Chip) optimized for power efficiency on 0.85 drives also successfully reduces power consumption in Samsungs 1.8 HDD. And the systems Active Power Controller intelligently detects five different power consumption levels Active, Active Idle, Float Idle, Low Power Idle, and Stand-by controlling power consumption according to each usage. Additionally, in order to achieve longer battery life on a portable device, the spin speed varies from 4200rpm to 3600rpm. All these efforts contribute to reducing power consumption by 30% compared to other 1.8 drives on the market.
