Toshiba today expanded its 1.8-inch lineup with the MKxx29GSG series which include three new high-capacity, Serial ATA HDDs for mobile PC applications.
The new series of HDDs include the 250GB
1.8-inch HDD.
Toshiba's third-generation 5,400 RPM SATA 1.8 HDD
family also features 120GB and 160GB capacities,
along with the fast data transfer rate of the SATA
3.0 Gb/s interface.
In addition, the MKxx29GSG series offers a Toshiba's
free fall sensor option, which enhances protection
from external shock and vibration events.
Toshiba's concentration on the 1.8-inch HDD platform
have enabled the company to continually push areal
densities to 378.8Gb/in2 in the new series and
deliver storage capacities that were previously
available only from larger form factor HDDs, while
decreasing the power consumption required by the
storage device. The MK2529GSG achieves a low energy
consumption efficiency of 0.0016 watts-per-
GB.
"Portable PCs continue to make the transition to the
SATA interface. IDC estimates that
84 percent of mobile HDD shipments in the second
quarter of 2008 were SATA," said John
Rydning, research director at IDC. "Toshiba?s
implementation of SATA 3.0 GB/s for its new 1.8-
inch HDD product line will facilitate adoption in a
broad range of portable PC form factors."
In addition, Toshiba has discontinued use of certain
chemical substances across all of its HDDs and has
eliminated specified hazardous halogens in this new
product series.
Toshiba's new family of 1.8-inch HDDs will begin
volume shipment to PC manufacturers
and distribution partners in December.
