Spinpoint F1  
160GB / 250GB / 320GB / 400GB / 500GB / 750GB / 1TB  
imagine a new era of Tera Byte storage  
World’s First Three-disk Solution  
for Terabyte Storage  
Better Reliability, Less Energy  
Consumption than Other Options  
Special Features for High-density  
Applications  
The Samsung Spinpoint F1 is the first three-disk  
hard drive delivering a whopping 1TB of capacity  
along with sophisticated recording technology.  
With its compact, lightweight package and  
advanced design, the F1 drive offers many  
advantages for high-density applications  
compared to using two 500GB drives or a four- or  
five-disk solution. Compared to a five-disk 1TB  
solution, the F1 Series consumes 13-16% less  
power and offers up to 20% faster performance.  
This 3.0Gbps SATA drive has a maximum of  
334GB of formatted capacity per disk while also  
featuring Samsung’s industry-leading NoiseGuard™  
and SilentSeek™ technologies to eliminate  
acoustic noise. The Spinpoint F1 utilizes Samsung  
perpendicular recording technology, which helps  
the drive set new records in both areal density and  
platter capacity.  
Servers, high-end desktops, RAID systems and  
DVRs are among the applications well suited to the  
Spinpoint F1 drive. The F1 Series is offered in  
desktop PC or RAID reliability. The RAID reliability  
mean time between failures is up to 1.2 million  
hours. A rotational vibration sensor enables the  
drive to operate more efficiently in a RAID  
environment.  
For consumer applications, a power-saving code  
reduces power consumption while AV-optimized  
firmware cuts time delays during AV data  
recording. In general, the Samsung drive offers a  
superior combination of density, recording quality  
and reliability.  
Key Features  
• Maximum 334GB formatted capacity each  
in 3 disks  
• SATA 3.0Gbps interface support  
• SATA native command queuing  
• Supports staggered spin up  
• Hot-plug capability  
Reliability Beats Competition  
The Spinpoint F1 requires fewer components  
than competing solutions while delivering  
enhanced reliability versus a 1TB drive with four  
or five disks or two 500GB disks. With fewer  
heads and disks, the F1 statistically has a lower  
probability of head-disk failures. According to  
estimates, this Samsung drive has a 50% lower  
failure rate than a two-500GB-drive solution and  
as much as 31% fewer failures than five-platter  
1TB drives.
