Samsungs Spinpoint M7 model is designed for high-end mobile computing applications requiring greater shock resistance without a compromise in performance. An optimized system-on-chip controller reduces the power consumption in both seek & idle modes to the lowest level among comparable drives. The Spinpoint M7 utilizes Samsungs proprietary Silent Seek & Noise Guard technologies to minimize noise-levels during drive operation. The halogen-free drive complies with the European Unions directive on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical & electronic equipment (Ro HS).
