Catching up to at least one of its rivals, Samsung is almost ready to start shipping its first 1.5TB hard drives which are part of the EcoGreen F2 family and aim to combine low power consumption with high capacity, good performance and an attractive price. Seen below, the HD153UI is a 3.5-inch hard drive that features a working speed of 5400 RPM, a SATA 3.0 Gbps interface, a 32MB buffer and an average seek time of 8.9 ms.

Also boasting NoiseGuard and SilentSeek, the 1.5TB drive is said to go on sale in Japan this weekend and cost just about $130.
