Samsung has long been an industry leader in the development of hard drive technology. The SpinPoint M Series 40 GB Notebook Hard Drive combines almost-silent operation with exceedingly low seek and latency times to make an almost unbeatable package. It’s the proprietary “SilentSeek” technology that does the trick, which minimizes the noise from the heads and actuator, bringing this drive to within 1 (one!) decibel of the quietest we’ve ever seen. Power consumption helps, by staying down under only 3 watts!

Exclusive technology keeps the read/write head off the disk when not in use, enhancing energy efficiency and reliability. The SpinPoint series’ MTBF is 330,000 hours, so you can be sure this drive will give you many years of solid service, like all the products from Samsung. They’re aware that their future lies in the hands of the customer, and so provides a three year warranty.
