Toshiba Intros 320GB 2.5-Inch HDD
Tuesday, August 21, 2007
Posted by: Brian
Toshiba today announced the world's first 320GB 2.5-inch HDD, as the lead product in a new series of 5400 drives. The company also expanded into the high-end 7200 RPM performance class with a family of products offering up to 200GB capacity. Toshiba's new 5400 RPM 2.5-inch HDDs feature capacity points from 80GB to 320GB, using both 120GB-per-platter and 160GB-per-platter designs in the MK-46GSX and MK-52GSX families, respectively. The high-end 7200 RPM MK-49GSY series features capacity points of 80GB to 200GB. All three families support the Serial ATA interface at a 3.0 Gbps data transfer rate, and free-fall sensor options are available on select models. Toshiba's new HDD families will begin production in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Didn't they announce a 300GB one about 9 months ago? I still haven't seen that thing available on retail websites...

But who will get to 500GB first?
I have a feeling that it will be Hitachi. |

That sounds more like it. Thanks for the clarification.

Dag gummit!
I just bought a 200GB 7200 RPM drive for my MacBook Pro.... and when I say I just bought it, I haven't even installed it in the laptop yet. Grrr!
Ahh well, I still have 15GB free on my 120GB, so I should still be good for a while, although I don't have any of my iTunes library on my MacBook, they still reside on my PM G5, library is just too large, sitting at over 200GB now.  |

Yeah, but I've heard that 200GB Hitachi is pretty sweet running at 7200 RPM. I'm thinking about moving up to one from a 160GB 5400 RPM WD. |
