SAMSUNG SPINPOINT P SP2504C 250GB 8MB HD

SAMSUNG SpinPoint P Series SP2504C 250GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive. Samsung hard drives deliver industry's leading performance and sets uncompromising standards. Higher areal density improves reliability by reducing the total number of platters and read/write heads (moving parts) required to achieve a given capacity. Additional benefits to lower head and platter counts include improved performance and reductions in power consumption, acoustic noise, and cost per MB.The parallel interface, Ultra ATA, in most of today's desktop storage systems is now facing its limit. The Parallel ATA interface has been in use as the standard legacy storage device for individual users for over 17 years. Samsung has adopted the new interface, Serial ATA, and will continue to launch products with SATA interface for years to come.
