Samsung Intros 4TB External HDDs

E-mail Print PDF

Samsung launches what it claims are the thinnest and lightest 4TB external HDDs-- the M3 Portable and the P3 Portable, both coming 6.35cm cases less than 2cm thick and weighing just 235g.

Samsung HDDThe casing is just a little bit thicker than that of existing Samsung 2TB external HDDs. The drives are USB 3.0-powered and are described by the company as "the perfect lightweight drives for notebook computer owners who need to access media collections too large to fit on traditional internal storage options."

Inside each HDD is a Spinpoint M10P drive with 800GB/platter-- meaning 5 platters with admittedly impressive areal density.

The one difference between the M3 and P3 is case stylings, as the P3 comes in gray while the M3 is in black with a somewhat more durable matte design. Both will be available from June 2015.
