By deleting unused data, including files and even old emails you no
longer need, you’re helping data centers save energy.
The less energy data centers consume, the less the carbon emissions.
All the searching, streaming, social media, and gaming we do online create new data which is stored in data centers around the world. To save and process an astronomical amount of data, data centers use an enormous amount of electricity while also generating a lot of heat. And even more, electricity is needed to prevent data centers from overheating. Even as we speak, the data on our computers or smartphones that we no longer need or use continues to consume unnecessary amounts of energy at data centers.
At Samsung Semiconductor, we make low-power SSDs and DRAMs that deliver the power efficiency data centers need. If we replaced HDDs with Samsung SSDs and upgraded server DRAMs from DDR4 to Samsung DDR5 in all data center servers released in 2020, we would have saved 7 Terawatt hours(TWh) in a year – enough energy to replace 2.5 coal-fired power plants.
*7 TWh includes the 3 TWh needed to cool down servers.
By cleaning our inboxes, smartphones, and laptops of the files, apps, and photos we don’t need anymore, we’re helping data centers generate less heat and use less electricity. And thus, reducing our carbon footprints.

Samsung DDR5 is fast. Its transfer speeds go up to 7,200 Mbps giving you performance that's powerful enough to handle compute-hungry, high-bandwidth workloads in supercomputing, AI and machine learning applications. Capacity-wise, it gives you up to 512GB. And is built with self-correcting solution tech for robust reliability. And compared to DDR4, it achieves 30% higher power efficiency, making it the greener choice when it comes to memory solutions.

Online data from searching, streaming, social media and gaming are stored in data centers that consist of thousands upon thousands of chips processing data 24 hours a day. These data centers get hot as the amount of traffic increases and cooling them off requires another astronomical amount of energy. Since low-power memory chips reduce the energy used to cool off data centers, they can actually save the planet. If data center memory was replaced with Samsung SSDs and DRAM with DDR5, we could save 4 terawatt hours (TWh) in one year. That’s enough energy to power all the streetlights in Korea for one whole year.
Samsung SSDs offer the performance, energy efficiency and security that data centers require. They have also proven to deliver the high power efficiency, reducing data center operation costs as well as carbon emissions. And that’s why even as we speak, Samsung relentlessly continues to create leading low-power memory semiconductors.

Osan Stream is a body of water that runs 15 kilometers through Gyeonggi Province in Korea. And it was the kind of water that animals struggled to survive in. Starting from 2007, we worked with environmental groups to increase the amount of water by releasing purified water from the adjacent Giheung site each day during the summer. Recently, we have been releasing 45,000 tons of water every day, and we have been able to raise the water quality to such high standards that it’s now clean enough for otters to return and raise their families.
The tons and tons of water released into the stream was waste water that had been purified at our Green Center and recycled back to the stream. The quality of the water purified at our Green Center is so high it’s actually much cleaner than that of the surrounding streams.
And before the water is released into the stream, the water quality is monitored in real time through the Korea Environment Corporation’s Tele-Monitoring System (TMS) and sent to government agencies.
Samsung follows the three Rs — reduce, reuse and recycle. That is, consuming less water, using water again and reprocessing it. Our strict water management enabled the miracle of Osan Stream, and we were the first in the industry to earn Water Footprint certification from the U.K.-based the Carbon Trust.
