Samsung Releases Quiet(er) Hard Drives
The new SpinPoint S Series of hard drives offer upgraded versions of Samsung’s proprietary SilentSeek and NoiseGuard technologies to accelerate operational speed while reducing noise. Benchmarking results presented by Samsung show competing hard drives generate on average 2.8 bel (1 bel = 10 decibels) in idle mode and 3.2 bel in seek mode, while Samsung’s S166 series generate just 2.4 bel and 2.75 bel respectively.
It doesn’t seem like a big deal on paper, but it would undoubtedly be a nice addition to a quiet PC, PVR or the like. Pricing is not mentioned in the press release, but it shouldn’t be too high considering the low densities (80GB/160GB).
