Samsung’s Spinpoint A1 hard disk
Latest in Industry News is that Samsung is shipping compact flash card sized hard disk drivers(HDD) for use in mobile devices. Samsung’s Spinpoint A1 hard disks offer significantly higher storage capacity compared to other memory cards. Spinpoint A1 hard disks are available in two 2 initial models, 30GB and 40GB models.

The Samsung A1 hard drive is 42.8 x 36.4 x 5 mm in size and offers 3 times the capacity of 1-inch HDDs currently in the market, adding only 23 percent more volume with improved battery life and the highest available resistance to shock. Samsung A1 hard drives offer PATA/CEATA/USB interface options and features a 3600rpm rotation speed, a 2MB buffer memory, shock resistance of up to 650G, a two-second drive-ready time, and nearly inaudible acoustic noise.

Samsung’s proprietary free-fall sensor instantly detects that a fall is taking place and parks the head in a protective ramp before the impact in order to protect itself and also employs Samsung’s rotational vibration sensor to protect the data from heavy vibrations in noisy environments, pretty cool hun? ;-)

Samsung A1 hard drive is an ideal drive for mobile devices because it offers more capacity while minimizing the size.

Samsung’s A-Series is currently being shipped with an MSRP of $199.
