Spinpoint F1
160GB / 250GB / 320GB / 400GB / 500GB / 750GB / 1TB
imagine a new era of Tera Byte storage
World’s First Three-disk Solution
for Terabyte Storage
Better Reliability, Less Energy
Consumption than Other Options
Special Features for High-density
Applications
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.
Servers, high-end desktops, RAID systems and
DVRs are among the applications well suited to the
Spinpoint F1 drive. The F1 Series is offered in
desktop PC or RAID reliability. The RAID reliability
mean time between failures is up to 1.2 million
hours. A rotational vibration sensor enables the
drive to operate more efficiently in a RAID
environment.
For consumer applications, a power-saving code
reduces power consumption while AV-optimized
firmware cuts time delays during AV data
recording. In general, the Samsung drive offers a
superior combination of density, recording quality
and reliability.
Key Features
• Maximum 334GB formatted capacity each
in 3 disks
• SATA 3.0Gbps interface support
• SATA native command queuing
• Supports staggered spin up
• Hot-plug capability
Reliability Beats Competition
The Spinpoint F1 requires fewer components
than competing solutions while delivering
enhanced reliability versus a 1TB drive with four
or five disks or two 500GB disks. With fewer
heads and disks, the F1 statistically has a lower
probability of head-disk failures. According to
estimates, this Samsung drive has a 50% lower
failure rate than a two-500GB-drive solution and
as much as 31% fewer failures than five-platter
1TB drives.
