Toshiba Announces 1.8-inch 100 GB HDD
By: Sharon Khare   |   Dec 08, 2006
Toshiba has announced a 1.8-inch drive that offers a storage capacity of 100 gigabytes, the largest capacity in this class of HDD.

The new drive, MK1011GAH, employs perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technology and an improved error correction code to secure the highest areal density of any 1.8-inch HDD in the market, 240.8 megabits per square millimeter (155.3 gigabits per square inch). Toshiba will start mass production of this new best-in-class drive from January 2007.

Toshiba believes that packing larger data capacities into small form factor HDD is essential for the kind of advances the notebook PC market is making and to meet the growing demand for personal digital media supporting high capacity audio and video applications.

Alongside capacity improvement, Toshiba says that it has improved power consumption3 to 0.003W/GB, as defined in the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's Energy Conservation Law, assuring a more environmentally friendly design. The new drive also complies with the EU's RoHS directive, which came into force in July 2006.
