Amidst a slew of new notebook hard drives that have emerged on the market recently, Samsung’s SpinPoint M7 is the first to call itself “rugged” according to the cool cats over at Engadget.
The dual-platter, 2.5-inch SATA drive spins at 5400rpm and features a 400G operational shock tolerance (about 50G better than the claimed tolerances of other 500GB drives and 75G better than Sammy’s own Spinpoint M6).
The SpinPoint M7 is expected to ship next month, although a final price for the unit has yet to be announced.
