Samsung Electronics has launched it's new 2.5-inch hard disk drive series for laptops. The M80 SATA series and M80 series features advanced Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR) technology, which places the data bits perpendicular to the disc & reduces the corruption factor. By placing the data bits standing on end, more data can fit onto a disc, allowing for greater storage capacity. The drives offers up to 160GB of hard drive space and by using Samsung’s SilentSeek™ technology gives quietest performance. Samsung’s new drives are integrated with the free-fall sensor which can tolerate up to 700G of operating shock. The M80 SATA series and M80 series features a 8MB of onboard data cache and high performance 5,400rpm spindle speed.

“The rate of today’s mobile workforce and notebook PC users is rapidly growing like never before and Samsung is committed to providing the most advanced, technically sophisticated hard drive solutions available today,” said Albert Kim, National Sales Manger, Storage Systems for Samsung Semiconductor, Inc. “The M80 SATA Series and M80 Series, armed with PMR technology, free-fall sensor capability and increased storage capacity work behind the senses to ensure users have all of the tools necessary for the most pleasurable computing experience possible.”
