Samsung Introduces Highest Capacity 1.8-Inch Hard Drive

Samsung has introduced its new SpinPoint N2 series of 1.8-inch mobile hard drives. These feature the highest capacity available in this form factor -- 120 GB -- and the fastest speed -- 4200 RPM.

Samsung claims the N2 series offers the fastest boot times, lowest power consumption, and quietest operation available in hard drives of this size.

The new drives, with capacities ranging from 80 GB to 120 GB, are designed to meet the growing demands for high-capacity storage in mobile devices such as smartphones, handhelds, MP3 players, and UMPCs.

According to Andy Higginbotham, director of sales and marketing for Samsung, “The 1.8” HDD market is going to explode over the next few years with annual sales expected to increase up to 65% by 2010 as demand for compact consumer devices continues to grow."

Samsung’s SpinPoint N2 120 GB Series is currently shipping with a suggested price of $249.
