The SP2504C uses two 125GB platters to achieve its 250GB capacity and has a spin speed of 7,200rpm. Samsung quotes a 8.9ms seek time for the drive.
Seagate’s Noiseguard and Silentseek technologies make this an extremely quiet drive. It also runs cooler than many of its competitors, making it ideal for small form factor PCs.
