Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a worldwide leader in digital consumer electronics and information technology, announced that Samsung’s Spinpoint A1 30 Gigabyte (GB) 1.3-inch hard drive is now incorporated into JVC’s new Everio GZ-MG730, which is an ultra compact hard drive camcorder.

The small form factor of Samsung’s CompactFlash Card-sized hard drive provides consumer electronics and mobile application designers added flexibility in developing new devices with advanced features and high density storage capacity. By incorporating Samsung’s Spinpoint A1 hard drive, JVC’s award winning Everio G Series, the pioneer model for hard drive-based camcorders, is also able to offer in its new 2008 line up a high-end model with high resolution digital camera function as well as high density storage.

Samsung’s new Spinpoint A1 hard drive fits within the dimensions of the already widely adopted Compact Flash II card form factor. At just 42.8 x 36.4 x 5 mm in size, it delivers up to 40GB capacity while being 60 percent smaller than the standard 1.8inch HDD that was until recently the only hard drive available in the camcorder market. These powerful features provide consumer electronics designers with a significant step up in storage capacity while keeping size to a minimum.

“We designed the Spinpoint A1 hard drive to meet the surging capacity requirements from multimedia applications in increasingly smaller, mobile devices,” said TJ Lee, VP of sales and marketing at Samsung Electronics’ Storage System Division. “We’re pleased to see JVC employ this new technology in their new, ultra compact Everio hard drive camcorder.”
