The Spinpoint M8 utilizes Samsungs proprietary Silent Seek & Noise Guard technologies to minimize noise-levels during drive operation. The new M8 drive offers a shock resistance level of 400G (2ms) in operation mode & 900G (1ms) when the power is off. An optimized system-on-chip controller reduces the power consumption in both seek & idle modes to the lowest level among comparable drives.
