Both use in disk recording technology magnitorezistivnogo effect or TMR (Tunneling Magneto Resistance). Due to the time tested technology drives Samsung brand distinguishes fairly low power consumption, low noise levels during operation and the increased impact strength, which makes the products of this class attractive to manufacturers of laptops, as well as portable devices for storage and display media content. Note that this helps, and the minimum value in its class one gigabyte capacity, which the company is in a position to do even less. It can be a decisive factor in favor of Samsung products in the framework of the global programme of assistance to developing countries, which presupposes supplies to isolated regions of mobile and desktop PCs costing between $ 200

That does not mean that the fate of the hard drives Samsung - budget decisions for other countries. The company has successfully implemented its products in the composition notebooks of various classes issued under its own trademark and through OEM orders for very large companies from around the world.

Keep the proposed testing programme in full for these drives was not difficult. The results were slightly below average. Among the undoubted benefits of Samsung products should be noted low working temperature and it is adequate for their class speed data exchange bus in Burst mode. In our view, the characteristics of drives quite justified expectations of developers seeking to design a product with the best price / performance.
