Toshiba Storage Device Division has begun to roll out the MKxx56GSY series of hard drives, a new line-up of 2.5-inch spinners working at 7200 RPM. Coming in 160, 250, 320 and 500GB capacities, the drives have a SATA 3.0 Gbps interface, a 16MB of cache, and an average seek time of 11ms."This new family delivers faster overall system performance, which boosts user productivity - a key differentiator that PC manufacturers can provide to commercial and consumer notebook users," said Maciek Brzeski, vice president of marketing at Toshiba Storage Device Division. " As a result, we expect that 7,200 RPM HDDs will grow to more than 25 percent of 2.5-inch HDD shipment within two years. In addition the half-terabyte capacity, decreased environmental impact and low power consumption are also benefits, demonstrating Toshiba's continued leadership in delivering the right solutions to meet emerging market needs."The MKxx56GSY hard drives are currently being delivered in limited quantities to PC builders and are expected to enter mass production in Q4.
