Samsung MMDOE28G5MPP-0VA hard drive specifications
Samsung MMDOE28G5MPP - solid state drive - 128 GB - SATA-300
Samsung's Solid State Drives (SSDs) are light, rugged and reliable MLC NAND flash-based PC storage devices. After being qualified by several top-tier PC suppliers, Samsung SSDs have become widely chosen solid-state drives, currently offered in a variety of notebook and other portable PCs. In addition to the drives' outstanding quality, OEMs are attracted by superior performance and special features like self encryption for greater security. This next-generation product offers many advantages over rotating magnetic media such as better reliability and performance, remarkable ruggedness, less weight and significantly lower power consumption. For example, the performance of the 256-gigabyte Samsung SSD is 4.2 times greater than a 7200 rpm notebook hard drive. Compared to an HDD, the SSD's booting and application loading time are 50% less and file copy time is 60% less. Samsung's SSDs are ideal for traveling professionals, on-the-go students and others. SSDs use significantly less power - about 0.26 watts in operational mode and 0.15 watts in standby mode, which gives users up to 10% more battery life. In addition, the SSDs weigh 25% less than most HDDs, which further improve portability. As a non-volatile storage device, the SSD has no moving parts such as the motor, disks and heads of a hard drive. Thus it eliminates spin-up time, seek time and rotational latency while delivering sustained high-speed data transfers. The SSD's lack of moving parts makes it noise free and its ultra-low power consumption virtually eliminates heat emissions. One of the Samsung SSD's special features is hardware-based self encryption to protect confidential data from unauthorized access. This security capability is TCG Opal compliant and uses the 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard, which has been approved and adopted by the government. Compared to currently available software-based disk encryption, Samsung's approach offers faster performance, better security and an "always on" feature. Encryption keys and access credentials stay within the drive hardware rather than being stored in software, increasing security and simplifying management.
