SAMSUNG HD502HI 500GB SATA 5400RPM GREEN

Samsung EcoGreen F2 500GB SATA 300 5400RPM 16MB Hard Drive. SilentSeek and NoiseGuard is the name of the technology that Samsung use to to minimize the mechanical excitation generated by any resonance, virtually eliminating the source of seek acoustic noise. So basically, in simple terms, it means that the drive is quiet during operations such as read and write. Very quiet!
The “Green” drive lowers the amount of power required to run it, hence the “green” status. So if you are trying to reduce your spending on electricity, or you just want to do you bit to protect the environment, then going green won’t compromise your needs. Samsung claim that the drive consumes 43% less power in read/write and 57% less in idle than competitor’s 7200rpm drives.
