Samsung Electronics SpinPoint: 1-Tbyte hard-disk drive uses three disks

Running at 7200 rpm, the SpinPoint F1 hard-disk-drive series uses three disks for recording density. Features include a 3-Gbps SATA (serial-advanced-technology-attachment) interface with NCQ (native-command queuing), a 334-Gbyte-per-platter capacity, a 32-Mbyte cache, and 1.2-million-hour MTBF (mean time between failures). The 1-Tbyte hard-disk drives use the vendor’s SilentSeek technology for noise reduction. The SpinPoint F1 series costs $399.
