Toshiba Storage Device Division (SDD; (Irvine, CA) announced its high-capacity series of SATA 1.8-in. HDDs. The new 5,400 RPM HDDs come in single-platter 80GB and dual-platter 160GB models, delivering high capacity, performance, and durability in compact packages for space-efficient mobile PC systems.
The storage capacities offered by the 160GB MK1617GSG and 80GB MK8017GSG mirror those of larger form factor HDDs, while reducing the storage footprint by nearly 40 percent compared with the 2.5-in. form factor. Combined with the new micro-SATA connector, Serial-ATA 1.5Gbps interface and 5,400 RPM spin speed, the MKxx17GSG series offers small and light-weight solutions at increased data transfer rates for enhanced performance in sub-notebook PCs.
To develop these products, Toshiba applied an extensible platform approach that features a shared architecture base with the company's landmark 2.5-in. HDD product line, ensuring cross-platform compatibility. This approach allows the new 1.8-in. HDDs to leverage proven technologies, as well as certified compliance to the Serial-ATA 2.6 specification.
