Samsung has announced <A HREF="http://www.techworld.com/news/index.cfm?RSS&NewsID=8533">a 2.5-inch drive with 40GB greater capacity</A> than any from its rivals.

The SpinPoint MP1 provides between 80- and 200GB on its two platters, spins at 7200rpm and has a 3.0 Gbit/s serial ATA (SATA) interface. It is designed for blade servers, general servers, RAID arrays and workstations. It has perpendicular recording and native command queuing (NCQ), as competitor drives do. What is unique for an enterprise drive is a rotary vibration controller plus a drop sensor that parks the head if free fall acceleration is detected.
