Toshiba announce 3TB 2.5inch HDD with 750GB per platter density
AT CES 2015, Toshiba Corporation has announced 3TB 2.5” HDD, MQ03ABB300. This is industry’s first 2.5” hard drive with 750GB per platter, thanks to perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technology. Data is stores on a total of four platters, with combined size of 3TB. Toshiba is planning to ship the hard drive from May 2015. While providing massive storage space, MQ03ABB300 also offers much lower power consumptions when compared to 2TB 2.5” hard drives from Toshiba.
Key Features:
- Delivers Massive Storage Capacity in 2.5-inch Form Factor for Space Constrained Applications.
- 3 TB Capacity in Small Form Factor with 15 mm Height
- 5,400 rpm
- SATA 3 (Up to 6.0 Gbit/s) with SATA Power Save
- Advanced Format 512e
- MTTF of 600,000 hours
- RoHS Compatible, Halogen-Free and Antimony-Free
