Toshiba has
unveiled the world's largest 1.8"
HDD. The new drive, MK3233
GSG runs at 5400RPM, features a 16MB buffer and most importantly has a 320GB capacity. The new drive has faster data transfer rates, less noise while seeking data (19dB) and is 19% more efficient energy-wise than Toshiba's previous series of 1.8" drives. The drive uses a
SATA 3.0
Gbps interface and is intended for use in
UMPCs and
netbooks. Toshiba will begin mass production of the MK3233
GSG in December, although the price of the lilliputian
HDD has not yet been announced.
