Toshiba MK3233GSG

The Toshiba MK3233GSG is a 1.8-inch hard disk drive with a maximum capacity of 320GB, and features improvement to its perpendicular magnetic recording head and the disk’s magnetic layer that can secure an areal density of 801Mbit/mm2 (516Gbpsi). The unit also features new drives position that provide manufacturers of PCs and peripheral equipment with thin and light solutions with optimized storage density. The unit is equipped with a serial ATA interface, 5,400 RPM rotational speed and 16MB buffer memory. The aforementioned areal density improvement allows the MK3233GSG to boost internal data transfer rates by 15% from the MK2529GSG, the company’s earlier 250GB 1.8-inch HDD. Acoustic noise is reduced during seek to 19dB, a 4dB decrease from the MK2529GSG.

Features

The Toshiba MK3233GSG also features a 19% improvement in energy consumption efficiency compared to its predecessor and is compliant with the European Union’s RoHS directive, halogen-free and antimony free. It uses Toshiba technology to improve the perpendicular magnetic recording technology head and disk for a areal density of 801 Mbit/mm2 (516 Gbpsi) and a capacity of 320GB. The serial ATA interface supports a 3.0Gbps data transfer rate and the 16MB buffer memory improves linear recording density and internal data transfer rate by 15%.
