SAMSUNG ANNOUNCES HARD DISK DRIVE PROMOTION

RIDGEFIELD PARK, NJ -- Samsung announced that it is offering distributors
and system integrators a value-added hard disk drive (HDD) package that
includes selected DiskMaster hard disk drives and Ontrack's Disk Manager
software. The HDD bundle, which is available now with Samsung's 560MB
drive (SHD-30560A), is designed to help system integrators and end-users
maximize their drive's storage capacity and performance. Samsung will
continue to bundle hard disk management software with all its current and
future IDE drives that have a capacity of 528MB or more.

Jeff Edelstein, Samsung's Senior Product Manager for hard disk drives,
said, "Our goal is to help people access their Samsung hard drive's entire
storage capacity. That's why we teamed up with Ontrack, which developed
the original HDD utility software. With more than 12 million installations
worldwide, Disk Manager has become the industry standard. "

John Pence, President of Ontrack Computer Systems, said, "We believe that
our partnership with Samsung offers many advantages. The organization's
high performance storage products have been chosen by tens of thousands of
consumers and system integrators. Samsung is known and regarded as a world
class manufacturer."

The Disk Manager program installs hard drives in less than a minute and
completely prepares them for use in IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2 or compatible
computers. Also, Disk Manager software overcomes DOS and BIOS limitations
to gain full storage capacity for drives larger than 528MB. The software
also supports Windows 32-bit disk access.

Samsung's 560MB drive has a rotational speed of 3,600 RPM, average seek
time of 11 ms, track density of 3,305 tpi and 250,000 hour MTBF rating.
Samsung will ship the hard drives and software disks to customers for a
limited period of time.
