Samsung’s F2 Series EcoGreen Drive (F2EG) is the
ideal high capacity drive for green computing
environments.The new eco-friendly hard drive, F2EG is
designed to meet demand for high performance
devices with lower power consumption. Samsung’s
EcoGreen F2 makes it possible to design storage
systems with the right balance of high capacity, fast
performance and energy conservation.

Huge capacity up to 1.5 terabytes
EcoGreen F2 delivers a whopping 1.5 TB of capacity
using an industry leading 500 GB per disk. The
F2EG, employing advanced PMR technology,
achieves greater areal density than most hard drives
shipping today. With its high areal density, reduced
number of disks, and competitive performance, the
F2EG is considered by many as the ideal drive
because it improves on power efficiency while
supporting a large capacity up to 1.5 TB with 3 disks.

Faster performance
Samsung F2EG has the world’s best areal density at
5400rpm rotation speeds. High density means more bits
pass under the head faster, and it improves the drive
performance. Samsung employs an advanced data
recording technology, which brings the next generation
technology into today’s single disk platform, enabling
Samsung’s new 5400rpm drives to perform at current
7200rpm drive speeds*. The internal SysMark test
results confirms that F2EG performs as same as
7200rpm drive speeds, and even 10% faster than other
green drives.

Enhanced reliability
The enhanced reliability of the Samsung F2EG is made
possible by the industry’s highest density – 500 GB /
platter. This best-in-class areal density per platter
enables Samsung to achieve a 1.5 TB drive with only 3
platters. With fewer heads and disks, the F2EG has a
statistically lower probability of head-disk failures and
enables designers to build more reliable computing
systems.

Low power consumption
By using only 3 platters for 1.5 TB, as compared to
competitor’s 4 or 5 platters for 1.5 TB, Samsung’s
F2EG requires less power to start the motor, less
power to continuously spin the motor and has a lighter
head-stack which takes less power to seek.
With its advanced design and less components, the
F2EG consumes 43% less power in R/W, and 57%
less in idle than competitor’s 7200rpm drives.
Samsung's advanced recording technology enables
F2EG to perform similar to other 7200rpm drives.

How does Samsung make this
possible?
The key technology that makes all of this possible is
Samsung’s perpendicular recording technology.
Perpendicular recording is a very different method to
store bits on the disk drive platter. On a disk drive,
each bit (1 or 0) is stored as magnetic information
vertically into the platter; rather than the previous
method of storing the magnetic information
horizontally on the platter. The result is the magnetic
poles of each bit do not interfere with the magnetic
poles of neighboring bits. Now bits can be packed
more tightly next to each other, and the sectors of
data can be packed more tightly side by side.
