SAMSUNG Hard Disk Drive Product Guide 2009
Our quality is based on our ACCESS TO FUNDAMENTAL TECHNOLOGY, not only for Samsung's own R&D
resources within the HDD division, but also from various R&D resources within the Samsung group.
SAIT(Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology) developed Acoustic Noise Suppression Technology,
which is utilized in all Samsung HDDs. SAIT also provides Head Stack, Read Channel, Spindle Motor,
Servo Control System and Optical Technologies. Similarly, Samsung Electronic's corporate R&D center
developed vibration suppression technology.
