Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Initial models - due to ship later this month - in the SpinPoint M5 family will deliver between 60 and 150G capacity, and a future dual-platter model may offer 250G.
Designed for portable devices, the SpinPoint M5 drives are four percent lighter, 15 percent quieter and reduce power consumption by five percent compared with other drives of similar capacity.
"The 2.5" hard drive market is registering double-digit annual growth, and we expect at least a twenty-percent growth increase in 2007," said Hyung Keun Park, executive vice president and general manager of Samsung Electronics' storage system division. "With hard disk drives rapidly moving beyond PCs to include consumer electronics, we will provide customers with a new lineup of products with the highest available capacity and the best performance to enable new applications."
The 5400rpm drives feature 1.5Gbps SATA interfaces and 8M of cache, so the performance should be adequate for the intended market rather than stellar. If you need a fast 2.5in drive, Samsung has also announced the SpinPoint MP1 family.
