San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850.
, Calif. -- Samsung Electronics Samsung Electronics (SEC, Hangul:삼성전자; KSE: 005930, KSE: 005935, LSE: SMSN, LSE: SMSD) is a South Korean multinational corporation and the world's largest and leading electronics and information technology company.  Ltd., the worldwide digital consumer electronics and information technology leader introduces its largest format hard drives to date, the new 400GB SpinPoint T133 series, for the small businesses, enterprises and home user market. Samsung's latest high-capacity drives are ideal for users looking to store and play back limitless amounts of digital media, including movies and music, while offering fast and reliable data transmission.

"Today's businesses and home users demand the most from their technology products and Samsung is working at a break-neck pace to meet these increasingly complex requirements," comments Albert Kim, national sales manager, Storage Systems for Samsung Semiconductor. "Utilizing 133GB per platter technology, the new best-of-breed HD400LJ and HD400LD open up a new arena for Samsung's storage products from the enterprise to external storage to network attached storage applications."

The SpinPoint T133 series, including the parallel ATA HD400LD and the Serial ATA with 3.0GB per second (Gbps) HD400LJ, offers a virtual one-stop-shop for both enterprise and home applications alike. For businesses with demanding data back up applications, the HD400LJ features serial ATA technology with 3.0GB Gbps I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output.

All are equipped with a 7200-rpm spindle speed, and 8.9-millisecond average seek time and an optional 16MB cache buffer. Samsung offers the quietest drives in the industry that utilize its patented NoiseGuard(TM) and SilentSeek(TM) next generation technology.

Both drives are currently shipping with an estimated street price of $195. For more information about Samsung's hard disk drive products, visit http://www.samsung.com.
