Toshiba launches single-platter 1.8-inch HDD
Bangalore: Toshiba, manufacturer of hard disk drives, introduced a new line of 1.8-inch HDDs (Hard disk drive) with a capacity of up to 160GB on a single-platter, and a slim five-millimeter high profile targeting next-generation portable media players, digital video cameras and other consumer electronics products. Toshiba's new MK1634GAL family of 1.8-inch HDDs offers consumer electronics manufacturers a thin and light package with the industry's largest storage capacity, power consumption efficiency, durability and quiet seek operation. Applying Toshiba's original advanced acoustic management technology, the new series acoustic noise is at 15dB, 5dB decreased compared to the previous MK1231GAL model. It is also equipped with a PATA interface, 4200 RPM rotational speed and acoustic-reduction features. Toshiba's MK1634GAL HDD is better suited for audio and video playback applications that require high capacity in a small footprint with quiet operation to maximize the entertainment experience of the host device. MK1634GAL family delivers environmentally friendly performance improvements from Toshiba's previous generation of 1.8-inch drive, including a 24 percent improvement of MK1634GAL in energy consumption efficiency. The MK1634GAL family is also compliant with the European Union's RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive and halogen free. Shipping now to consumer electronics manufacturers, the compact 160GB model leads the MK1634GAL family with mass production of the 60GB, 80GB and 120GB models scheduled in late September.
