uncompromised storage solution for high-end multimedia and gaming
devices.
The MQ01ABD100 delivers an impressive energy consumption efficiency
of 0.00055 i and the lowest energy consumption efficiency among
similar capacity 3.5-inch (8.8cm) and 2.5-inch (6.4cm) drives from
other industry players.
Forming part of a series of advanced format technology HDDs, the
MQ01ABD100 is also developed to deliver a higher internal transfer
