Toshiba has announced its latest market-leading 1.8-inch lineup including MKxx29GSG series, which supports three enhanced, excellent Serial ATA HDDs for mobile PC application along with industry’s first 250GB 1.8-inch HDD.

The latest 5,400 RPM SATA 1.8 HDD supports 120GB and 160GB capacities including quick data transfer rate of SATA 3.0 Gb/s interface. It is enough capable to meet the diversified storing needs of both PC and CE producers with products, which suit to the particular capability, presentation and arrangement requirements of every function.

"Portable PCs continue to make the transition to the SATA interface," said John Rydning, research director at IDC. "IDC estimates that 84 percent of mobile HDD shipments in the second quarter of 2008 were SATA. Toshiba’s implementation of SATA 3.0 GB/s for its new 1.8-inch HDD product line will facilitate adoption in a broad range of portable PC form factors."

The 1.8-inch HDD delivers the advantages of longer battery life, better alarm easiness, as well as quieter operation in a mature storage platform. The Toshiba First Quarter-Terabyte 1.8-Inch HDD will start shipping to PC producers, as well as delivery partners in December.
