Samsung has developed a 1.8-inch 120GB-capacity hard-disk drive that should fit right into the Zune Player. The Spinpoint N2 Series “features a 4,200rpm spin rate, PATA/ZIF interface with 8MB cache memory, a 15,0ms seek time and a two second Drive Time to Ready.” It’s also pretty quite quiet because it’s made by Samsung. MSRP is $249.
Here’s what the Samsung press release has to say about the N2 hard disks:
“The N2 Series has been developed specifically for portable consumer electronic applications where low noise, vibration and power consumption for longer battery life are key to success. These robust and rugged drives feature best-in-class environmental and acoustical specifications as well as decreased power consumption from the low operating voltage system-on-chip configuration. In addition, perpendicular recording technology enhances data reliability while dynamic Flying-On-Demand ensures better data signals.”
With the MSRP, Microsoft might as well put a phone and PDA functions on the Zune player.
