Samsung 250GB 1.8-inch hard drives – Strengthening its line up of portable 1.8-inch hard drives for external storage markets, Samsung Electronics announced its 250GB 1.8 inch hard disk drive, the Spinpoint N3U which incorporates a native USB controller on its printed circuit board.

This optimized design results in a smaller foot print, less power consumption and optimized performance, which is ideal for portable external storage devices.

Most external hard drives require the addition of a bridge circuit board to convert the hard drive’s PATA interface into a USB interface. Samsung’s N3U drive, however, uses a native USB interface and as such does not require this bridge board.

As a native USB interface device, the Spinpoint N3U eliminates possible points of failure due to loose cable connections and optimizes performance by eliminating the interrupt service time for the bridge board to convert PATA to USB signals. And the N3U 1.8-inch drive also consumes about 40 percent less power than a 2.5-inch hard drive of an equivalent capacity.

Samsung now ships industry leading areal density levels for all of its hard disk form factor products with up to 1.5 Terabyte for 3.5-inch drives, 500GB for 2.5-inch drives and 250GB for 1.8″ drives. The Spinpoint N3U comes in 120-, 160-, 200- and 250-GB capacities, the disk rotation speed is 3600rpm, and it supports a USB 2.0 interface. The drives are equipped with an 8MB cache memory. Initial shipments to OEMs are scheduled from mid-July with a MSRP at $199.00.
