Capture the World 
Market with the best Quality

T

here were enormous changes in the HDD industry in the

past decade. The excessive competition among companies

had resulted in an industry wide deterioration of profitability

for some time. 

With large scale restructuring of the industry, Samsung

Electronics succeeded in turning around an important yet

unprofitable HDD business into a profitable and dynamic one.

The improved product competitiveness and commitment to reliability are the keys we

relied on to achieve great success in such a difficult market environment. Especially

noteworthy, are the critical investments Samsung made years ago to ensure the highest

qualities of its products. These investments paid great dividends, and Samsung earned a

notable reputation from major OEMs with unmatched high quality standards. We have

also succeeded in expanding the product line-up from 3.5inch to 2.5inch hdd.

In addition, paradigm changes in the storage business environment open ample

opportunity for Samsung to arise as a total storage solution leader in the industry.

Digital convergence trends of IT and consumer electronics dims the boundary between

these two different business areas. Samsung, with its well-known CE business

experiences, take advantages that no HDD companies can nourish. 

Hereby, we contributed to achieving a perfect AV environment of PC by our success in

developing acoustic noise suppression technologies such as NoiseGuard

TM

and

SilentSeek

TM

. Samsung will continue to seek ways to leverage our productive R&D efforts,

as always.

Samsung plans to accelerate current business momentum with innovations 

in competitiveness such as best product reliability, fast time-to-market, superior

performance, and a noiseless operation environment.
