- OEM While other 2TB drives split their collection of bytes over four 500GB platters, Samsungs Spinpoint Eco Green HD204UI F4 features three 667GB disks. This means the new platters boast the worlds highest areal density at the moment. The 3.5-inch F4 is intended to replace Samsungs four-platter F3 drive, & has otherwise similar specs. The drive is bolstered by a 32MB buffer, & the platters spin at 5400rpm, rather than the 7200rpm rotational speed of some other 2TB desktop drives The new three-platter drive also cuts down on power consumption. The F4 eats 23 per cent less electricity in standby mode than its predecessor. The drive will remain quiet while its ticking away, taking advantage of the companys Silent Seek & Noise Guard technologies. The new Spinpoint HD204UI F4EG also supports Native Command Queuing Key Features 667GB Formatted Capacity Per Disk Serial ATA 3.0 Gbps Interface Support enhanced recording stability over temperature with PMR Advanced dynamic FOD control for best data integrity Intelligent compensation of external disturbance SATA Native Command Queuing Feature Device Initiated SATA Power Management Shock & Rotational vibration sensor Environment friendly product with Ro HS compliance enhanced performance with dual-ARM based firmware ATA S.M.A.R.T.
