Toshiba 2.5-Inch 7mm 500GB SATA HDD

Toshiba Europe GmbH (TEG) Storage Peripherals Division will  be expanding its range of 2.5-inch HDDs with a slimline drive that allows users to add 500GB of high-performance internal storage to notebooks and gaming consoles.

Offering reliable performance for everyday users and gamers, the 7mm profile L200 – Slim Mobile HDD – is the latest addition to the Toshiba L200 family of HDDs for mobile computing platforms. The drive features a SATA 3.0 / ATA8 and combines a proprietary cache algorithm with buffer management that ensures rapid access to frequently-used applications and data.

The new slimline drive offers Advanced Format (AF) storage and uses Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR) and Tunnel Magneto-Resistive (TMR) recording technology to deliver high-density, high-speed and stability. Data security is supported through a built-in shock sensor that enhances resistance to shock and vibration and ramp loading technology that protects data while the drive is on the move.

Designed for performance, the L200 – 7mm offers support for native command queuing (NCQ), incorporates an 8MB buffer, and operates with a rotational speed of 5,400rpm.

The new drive will be available from May 2016 and typical purchase price will be €49,82.

A two-year warranty is provided as standard.
