SAMSUNG INTRODUCES 1.08GB DISKMASTER "T" SERIES HARD DISK DRIVE FOR
ENHANCED PC PERFORMANCE

New Drive Has 5,400 Spin Rate and 500,000 Hour MTBF Rating

June 20, 1995 -- RIDGEFIELD PARK, NJ -- Samsung Electronics America (SEA)
has introduced a new 1.08 gigabyte (GB) hard disk drive as the first model
in its DiskMaster "T" series of advanced hard disk drives. The "T" series
drives are designed to offer enhanced performance in terms of storage
capacity per disk, fast rotation speed and rapid seek times. The new hard
drive will be on display at Samsung's booth (#4038) during PC EXPO in New
York, June 20-22.

Jeff Edelstein, Samsung's Senior Marketing Manager for Storage Devices,
said, "The introduction of the high-performance "T" series clearly
demonstrates Samsung's capabilities to develop, engineer and produce
leading-edge hard disk drives that rapidly access, store and process large
quantities of electronic data. We are one of the first manufacturers to
deliver a two-platter, one gigabyte product. More importantly, the R&D
staff in Samsung's Storage Devices Division created the 1.08GB hard drive
with high areal density using conventional head technology."

The first model in the "T" series -- the TBR-31081A -- is a two-platter
hard drive with a formatted capacity of 1,080Megabytes. More than 270MBs
of data can be recorded on each of the hard drive's four data surfaces.
The areal density on the 1,080MB hard
drives is 382Mb/In2.

The TBR-31081A provides an excellent multimedia storage solution for
running Windows 95 and 32-bit applications. It utilizes embedded servos to
eliminate delays caused by thermal recalibration and high sustained
throughput to deliver smooth audio and video reproduction.

The TBR-31081A is engineered to deliver a 16.6MB per second transfer rate
via Programmed Input/Output (PIO) Mode 4 using the IDE/ATA system
interface in high-performance PCs. The drive is also available in the Fast
SCSI-2 interface.

The new drive has a rotational speed of 5,400 RPM and a rapid access time
of just nine milliseconds (9ms). The higher "spin rate" provides faster
data throughput by reducing the latency period required for the disk to
position itself under the read/write heads.

Samsung's highly reliable "T" series drive has achieved a Platinum level
rating for its compatibility and performance specifications from XXCAL,
Inc. Testing Laboratories. It has a MTBF of more than 500,000 hours and it
can be used with power management systems in "Green PCs." The TBR-31081A
comes with a three-year warranty and will be available to major OEMs and
key distributors.
