Samsung latest 3.5-inch EcoGreen desktop hard disk managed to get 2TB capacity with three platters, what its previous F3EG model only managed with four platters. That’s 667GB per platter, what Samsung calls the world’s highest areal density, environmentally friendly hard disk drive on the market. Specifically, this 3.0Gbps SATA disk with a 32MB buffer brings about a 19 percent improved standby performance and requires 23 percent less power in standby mode than its older brother, the EcoGreen F3EG. Better yet, it does all this for only $120 ($60 less!) when it hit the market in early September, considering both are under the green-series. Looks like HDD prices are getting lower again, yesh!
