Toshiba Speeds 1.8-Inch Drives Up to 5400rpm [Storage]
|
The bitch about using 1. 8″ drives in computers is that they run at a sluggy 4200rpm, as opposed to the 5400rpm commonly clocked in 2. 5″ laptop drives. Toshiba today announced a 1. 8″ drive that runs at 5400rpm in capacities of 80GB (MK8016GSG) and 120GB (MK1216GSG). This is good news for near-future UMPCs and refreshes of subnotebooks like the MacBook Air. Toshiba will showcase its new 1. 8-inch HDDs at the Intel Mobility Summit in Shanghai, China, February 26 - 29, 2008. Toshiba’s new 1. 8-inch HDDs will begin shipping to mobile PC manufacturers and distribution partners in April 2008.
