Samsung Hard Disk Drive 2005 Product Guide 

Capture the World 

Market with the best Quality 

There were enormous changes in the HDD industry in the past decade. The excessive competition among 

companies had resulted in an industry wide deterioration of profitability for some time. 

With large scale restructuring in the industry, Samsung Electronics succeeded in turning around an important but 

unprofitable HDD business into a profitable and dynamic one. The improved product competitiveness and 

commitment to reliability are the keys we relied on to achieve great success in search a difficult market 

environment. Especially noteworthy, are the critical investments Samsung made years ago to ensure the highest 

qualities of its products. These investments paid great dividends, and Samsung earned a notable reputation from major OEMs with 

unmatched high quality standards. We have also succeeded in expanding the product line-up from 3.5inch to 2.5inch hdd. 

In addition, paradigm changes in the storage business environment open ample opportunity for Samsung to arise as a total storage 

solution leader in the industry. Digital convergence trends of IT and consumer 

electronics dims the boundary between these two different business areas. 

Samsung, with captive market of CE businesses experience, take advantages that 

non HDD companies can nourish. 

Hereby, we contributed to achieving a perfect AV environment of PC by our 

success in developing acoustic noise suppression technologies such as 

NoiseGuard TM and SilentSeek TM . Samsung will continue to seek ways to leverage 

our productive R&D efforts, as always. 

Samsung plans to accelerate current business momentum with innovations 

in competitiveness search as best product reliability, fast time-to-market, 

superior performance, and a noiseless operation environment.


Behold the High Capacity 

Hard Disk Drive 

When the 140MB HDD was introduced in 1973, no one would have even imagined the current 400 

Gigabytes HDD in production today. As the complexity of programs, and popular use of graphic / AV 

applications, have increased the demands of the HDD, the PC user considers the capacity of HDD as an important 

factor in selecting the PC along with the CPU speed and the size of RAM memory. To address this change in the 

market, Samsung has succeeded in producing the 400 Gigabytes hard disk drive, constructed from three 133 

Gigabytes per platter disks. This page will describe how this high-capacity HDD now provides a new world of 

enjoyment and convenience to users. 

AV Environment in PC With the rapid distribution of the PC and the Internet, more and more users want to implement AV features of TV, 

VTR, and Recorder in their PCs. Especially, in cases of users in urban areas, they prefer to purchase the PC with AV features, instead of 

buying other electronic appliances, in frequently limited living spaces. This has enabled PCs with AV features, such as TV and PVR, to 

emerge in the market. For example, a PC with a built-in PVR feature, allows the user to use the instant playback function on their PCs, 

without purchasing any separate PVR devices. With a 80 to 160 Gigabytes high-capacity HDD, they can also store and edit many movies on 

their PCs. The consequence is that consumers can enjoy almost all AV features, such as music, movies, Internet, and TV programs, with a 

single PC. The high-capacity HDD allows users to store more movies and music titles on their PCs, and has dramatically increased the range 

and quality of the PC experience for users. 

Increase of PVR demand. When we think of HDD, we usually think of storage mechanism in IT devices. Now, we can find this storage 

mechanism in device like Personal video Recorder. More and more people tend to store their favorite movies, sports games, and TV shows 

in their homes. With PVR, they can simply download these contents into HDD inside it. Increasing demand of multimedia contents 

automatically increase the demand for storage space to store. 

High-capacity HDD to Increase Productivity for Professionals 

Typically, 10 Gigabytes is required to produce a new catalogue for backup files. When several persons are working together, it is more 

efficient and convenient to keep the backup files on the HDD rather than on other media, such as CD RW media and floppy disks. 

Therefore, the capacity of the HDD can directly affect the productivity levels of graphic arts professionals, such as graphic designers.


The Perfect AV Environment 

with Noiseless Hard Disk Drive 

There is an emerging trend to produce PCs focused on AV, that seeks to maximize the efficiency of the AV 

function through the Internet. For example, this kind of PC would feature high-performance audio 

equipment such as 20W 2-way speaker to create better sound effects, and even a built-in PVR function. What if 

the PC, designed around high end AV features, was found to generate too much noise? It would be a significant 

problem. 

Major Index of Quality for PC Recently, acoustic noise level has become the major index of quality for many home appliances, such as airconditioners 

and refrigerators. The CPU cooling fan and HDD are major parts in the PC that generate noise. In case of the CPU cooling fan 

that generates constant noise in idle mode, recent improvements in design have significantly reduced noise levels. Even more, a new PC 

without a CPU cooling fan has been introduced to eliminate this kind of noise. A HDD usually generates 2.8 to 3.3 Bels in idle mode, and 

3.0 to 3.5 Bels in seek mode. This level of noise can cause distraction and annoyance to users, since many of them use their PC in quiet 

environments, such as at night, where 3.0 Bels or less noise levels are typical. 

The Cause of HDD noise The HDD generates different noise characteristics by the frequency level. The biggest source of the noise is the 

spindle motor which generates vibration from its rotating motor. The vibration is transferred to the outside of the HDD and causes the 

noise. Also, the flow of air inside HDD caused by disk rotation can create noise. During seek mode, the movement of the head actuator 

generates a very high-pitched noise, familiar to all PC owners. 

Noise Guard TM and Silentseek TM Technologies Samsung has developed and applied NoiseGuard TM technology that is a combined technology 

to eliminate each noise source or to minimize energy transmission. First, modification of the spindle motor's design minimizes the noise 

source. In addition, the cover is designed to optimize the flow of air. The Damper utilizes vibration absorbing material, installed on the 

area of highest density, which maximizes the transmission of energy to the outside. Furthermore, to minimize the data seeking noise that 

has always irritated users, we have developed and applied SilentSeek TM technology, which makes the movement of the head actuator 

much smoother. While other competing technologies, such as the AAM option, cause performance degradation to lower the noise level, 

Samsung's SilentSeek TM technology causes virtually no degradation in performance.


Maximize the Confidence 

in Data Storage 

When the monitor, CD-ROM or RAM malfunctions, the problem is limited to a particular part. However, 

malfunction in the HDD means far more greater problems in other components. It is because most PC 

users consider their HDD as the final storage device for their data. Therefore, damage in the HDD generally causes 

enormous intellectual property loss. This makes PC manufacturers consider the HDD as the most important 

component to prevent hardware failure and data loss, as well as the brand image loss that would soon follow. 

Samsung Electronics recognizes that product reliability is the most important aspect of our business, and answers 

the needs of PC manufacturers, while it leverages our most strategic investments. As a result, the Samsung HDD has been recognized as 

the most reliable products by major PC OEM manufacturers, which has advanced Samsung's global OEM position. This page provides a 

brief description of how Samsung improved product reliability. 

It would have been impossible to achieve the recent advances in the high product reliability of our HDD product by improving single 

aspects of the technology or process. Therefore, it could only be achieved by innovation of the entire process from the product design to 

quality assurance. The most frequent problem that causes HDD malfunction is the collision of the head and disk, a result of the shock that 

occurs during the transporting or installation of the HDD. Therefore, reducing the possibility of collision between the head and the disk 

was seen by Samsung to be very important, if significant enhancement of product reliability was to be achieved. By optimizing the head 

actuator design in the early product design stage, Samsung eventually succeeded in maximizing he shock-resistance without the 

degradation of the performance. ImpacGuard TM , Samsung's patented technology, is designed to prevent any head actuator vibration 

during a non-operating environment, which reduces the possibility of collision between the head and the disk even further. Besides, HDD 

parts can also fail due to corrosion or contamination. Samsung analyzed and eliminated these kinds of problems, at the source, and in 

advance, by applying the best failure analysis technology adapted from our experience in the semiconductor business. For example, the 

microscopic pin holes on the disk surface causes corrosion, which then causes one type of hardware failure. Samsung analyzed this fact to 

solve the problem in cooperation with our disk component suppliers. Automation of the manufacturing process was inescapable, since 

the HDD consists of microscopic parts using a micrometer. For example, four screws are used to assemble the disk onto the HDD. When 

this process is performed by manual labor, the torques for each screw will be different, which, in turn, causes minute, but critical, 

distortions of the disk. Also, when assembling the head actuator onto the disk, even an infinitesimal misalignment can cause the head to 

scratch the disk. With the most advanced automated manufacturing line in the industry, Samsung minimizes this potential quality 

deviation that is possible by changes in the manufacturing process. In addition, our specialized technology for HDD manufacturing is 

applied in the quality assurance stage of production. In the end, our customers are allowed to focus on their core business, reliably, in the 

most stable storage environment available, anywhere on earth.


Next Generation of Interface 

Overview 

The parallel interface, Ultra ATA/100, in most of today's desktop 

storage systems is now facing its limit. The parallel ATA 

interface has been in use as the standard legacy storage device 

for individual users for over 17 years. However, with the 

continuous increase in data transfer rate, the need for totally 

new interface has arisen. Samsung has adopted the new 

interface, Serial ATA, in its P80 S-ATA product, and will continue 

to launch products with Serial ATA interface for years to come. 

This paper examines the benefits of Serial ATA interface. 

The benefits of the Serial ATA 

The Serial ATA is an inside-the-box storage interface with high 

cost-performance ratio. 

1. Low pin count 

Serial ATA has two pairs of lines, i.e. 4 lines (7 lines including 

ground connections). Each pair controls respective signals, one 

from controller to device and the other from device to 

controller, sending only 1 bit at a time. Therefore, there is no 

signal skew caused by signal timing restraints as is found in 

parallel ATA. 

2. Low voltage 

Serial ATA boasts a low voltage of 0.5V, one-tenths of that of 

the 5V parallel ATA. The low voltage reduces electromagnetic 

interference and power consumption rate during data 

transmission. Low power consumption is especially suitable for 

mobile products.


Next Generation of Interface 

3. Easier Installation 

Serial ATA eliminates the need for a master/slave jumper by 

connecting hosts to individual devices in a point-to-point 

fashion. This enables users to use thin cables of 1 meter in 

length, providing more flexibility in contrast to parallel ATA. 

This feature improves airflow in the system and provides design 

flexibility with the chassis of slim PCs. 

The simplified cables eventually lead to simple connectors. The 

figure below shows that Serial ATA is comprised of a data cable 

and a power cable. The connector at the end of the thin, red 

data cable has seven pins, four controlling signal lines and three 

controlling ground connections. One additional line of 3.3V has 

been added to the power cable of 12V and 5V lines, to comprise 

five lines. This 3.3V line provides power directly when the 

voltage in the HDD circuit drops. As shown in the lower right 

figure, the previous ATA connector was relatively large, with 40 

pins, while Serial ATA offers slimmer connectors suitable for the 

2.5" HDD used in laptop PCs. Since the connector is designed 

with a common standard for both 3.5" and 2.5" drives, the 

same power connector can be used on both 3.5" and 2.5" form 

factor products, allowing simpler PC system design with further 

cost reduction. 

4. High Data Transfer Rate 

Serial ATA 1.0, with its cable noise tolerance and serial transfer 

features, supports bandwidth of 1.5Gbit/s which provides 10% 

faster data transfer rate; up to 150MB/s compared to ATA-133. 

The simplified data transfer protocol of Serial ATA minimizes 

time delay in command process. 

5. Hot-plug capability 

The Hot-plug capability is an essential feature required at a 

RAID system. 

Serial ATA Hot-swap enables restoration of the system and 

recovery of previous functions without interruption. This 

feature allows the drive to be utilized in servers. 

6. Improved data reliability 

Although Cyclic Redundancy Checking capability exists in P-ATA, 

Serial ATA has improved its capability to protect data, thus 

enhancing data reliability. 

The Future of the Serial ATA 

The first generation standard for Serial ATA 1.0 has 

been released with bridge-chip model in 2003. Of 

course, the bridge-chip model has its limitation in 

performance and capabilities as Serial ATA interface. By 

the end of 2004, Samsung, as with the industry, 

succeeded in releasing native Serial ATA with NCQ 

features.

Samsung with Native Command Queuing Feature 

Native Command Queuing boosts drive reliability and 

performance. Serial ATA 3.0Gbps has created new opportunities 

for performance improvement at lower cost. 

This enhanced feature of SATA 3.0Gbps interface, vastly 

improve the performance by allowing multiple commands to be 

accessed within a drive at the same time. 

In other words, NCQ command protocol has an internal queue, 

where outstanding commands can be intelligently rescheduled 

and reordered. Therefore, highly transactional workloads are 

intelligently processed according to their task priority, which 

eventually leads to improved drive performance. The 

introduction of NCQ at SATA 3.0Gbps interface will eventually 

closes the gap in performance compared to higher priced SCSI 

drives. 

Conclusion 

SAMSUNG, before producing the Motherboard backing Serial 

ATA, tested its compatibility with ABIT and Promise Add On 

Card. SAMSUNG also tested compatibility and performance with 

other computers with Motherboards (Intel 875 chipset) backing 

Serial ATA. The adoption rate of Serial ATA interface in 2004 

was slow. The reason partly due to the fact that the customers 

didn’t find advantage using Serial ATA 1.0 compared to the 

traditional interface. However, in 2005, with introduction of 

Data Cable

Why Samsung 

Hard Disk Drive? 

Our quality is based on our ACCESS TO FUNDAMENTAL TECHNOLOGY, not only for Samsung's own R&D resources within the HDD division, but 

also from various R&D resources within the Samsung group. SAIT(Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology) developed Acoustic Noise 

Suppression Technology, which is utilized in all Samsung HDDs. SAIT also provides Head Stack, Read Channel, Spindle Motor, Servo Control 

System and Optical Technologies. Similarly, Samsung Electronic's corporate R&D center developed vibration suppression technology.
