Guided by 'Toshiba Group Environmental Vision 2050' the Group is implementing measures to boost environmental efficiency by 10 times in FY2050, against the benchmark of FY2000.

Toshiba Group, a Corporate Citizen of the Planet Earth, is committed to realizing a better environment. Toshiba’s new drive series will begin shipping in production volumes to OEMs and distributors in December 2008 and will be exhibited at CES 2009 in January. To further protect user data against potentially hazardous external events, free-fall sensor (FFS) options are available in all models in the new series. In addition, optimization of mechanics and servo design boosts the durability of the series, to realize operating shock tolerances matching the highest levels available on the market today (1). A further plus is that power consumption during data seek and read/write operation has been reduced by 0.5W, compared to Toshiba’s current top-of-the-line 400GB HDD, to 1.7W and 1.4W, respectively. Advanced servo techniques combined with mechanical design changes minimize noise emanating from the drives, making them very quiet during operation.

This new family raises the bar in acoustic performance for mainstream high-capacity HDDs. TOKYO-Toshiba Corporation, the pioneer in small form factor hard disk drives (HDDs), today announced a new half-terabyte HDD, the flagship model in a series of 5,400 RPM Serial-ATA (SATA) 3.0 Gb/s 2.5-inch HDDs offering enhanced features that will improve the user experience in mobile applications and other digital devices.Īvailable in capacities from 500GB to 120GB, the new series of quiet and durable drives is targeted for integration into notebook PCs, sub-notebooks, small form factor and energy star PCs, game consoles, external storage devices and consumer electronics products.
