Toshiba Unveils MQ01ABD HDD Series, Packs 1TB on a 9.5mm Frame
Unveiled yesterday, the company's new lineup of 2.5-inch HDDs offers up to 1TB of storage capacity, thanks to an architecture that squeezes 500GB out of every platter. Standing at 9.5mm tall, the 5,400RPM drives also boast an areal density of 744Gb per square inch, and are designed to maximize energy efficiency, burning just 0.55 watts in idle mode.
Gamers and entertainment gurus, meanwhile, would benefit from the MQ01ABD's enhanced acoustics, which max out at 19dB in idle, and 24dB while seeking. No word yet on pricing, but the beasts are scheduled to go into mass production by the middle of this month.
Meh, I'm becoming unimpressed with stuff like this. I don't need a smaller hard-drive, I just need one that is less likely to fail after being moved around a little bit. Cheaper solid-state rollouts can't come fast enough.
