TOSHIBA LAUNCHES ITS FIRST 3TB HDD WITH 1TB PER PLATTER
TECHNOLOGY
Toshiba re-enters 3.5-inch form factor HDD market with new range of drives
08 August, 2012, Dusseldorf – Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE), Storage
Products Division has today announced its first family of HDDs with a 1TB per platter
capacity1.The new range will deliver high capacity of up to 3TB with uncompromised
performance for PCs and consumer electronic applications such as gaming PCs and
external HDDs. A video stream model will also be available for set–top boxes and
digital video recorders.
Consumers worldwide are becoming data hoarders, it’s estimated that last year alone
3.6 billion song downloads were purchased2. Growth in video consumption means
that the global market for set top boxes is now 228 million devices annually3, a figure
that doesn’t include the fact there is also an increased trend towards consuming
content on other ‘connected devices’ such as games consoles, computers and
tablets.
Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) need the storage to match this ever
increasing demand. The DT01ABA range provides up to 3TB of capacity with a
spindle speed of 5,940 or 5,700 RPM. This combined with the 6Gb/s SATA for higher
data transfer speed and 32MB cache buffer, means that even terabytes of data can
be accessed quickly.
These will be the first Toshiba products to demonstrate new technologies acquired
from the successful takeover of Western Digital’s 3.5-inch HDD manufacturing
equipment and related intellectual properties earlier in the year. The new range of
drives uses 4KB Advanced Format, to fully utilise valuable disk real estate and
deliver 1TB per platter.

*Definition of Capacity: TOSHIBA defines a megabyte(MB) as 1,000,000bytes, a gigabyte(GB) as
1,000,000,000 bytes, and a terabyte(TB) as 1,000,000,000,000bytes.

units-in-2012/
Throughout its 25 years in the European storage market, Toshiba has demonstrated
on-going commitment to environmental responsibility. As such, the new drives boast
low power consumption when idle, with spindle speed dropping to 5940 RPM
(maximum). Not only this, but the HDDs will utilise quiet seek operation to decrease
noise to only 25 dB.
“OEMs don’t want to have to choose between capacity and performance. In the face
of this data deluge it’s essential that they have high capacity storage devices to meet
their requirements. The DT01AxA range offers 3TB of capacity in a high performance
drive, that doesn’t drain power resources”. Said Martin Larsson, vice president,
Toshiba Electronics Europe. “We pride ourselves on being able to offer storage
devices to meet our customer every requirement. The new DT01AxA range further
cements Toshiba’s position as the only vendor to develop and supply a complete
storage product line up of SSDs and 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch HDDs.”
The DT01ABA300 (5,940 RPM), DT01ABA200 (5,700 RPM) and DT01ABA150
(5,700 RPM) boast capacities of 3TB, 2TB and 1.5 TB respectively. DT01ABA300V,
DT01ABA200V and DT01ABA150V are the video streaming optimised models. The
7,200 RPM drives will be available as DT01ACA300, DT01ACA200 and
DT01ACA150, at 3TB, 2TB and 1.5TB respectively. The video streaming range will
include the: DT01ACA300V, DT01ACA200V and DT01ACA150V. Volume production
of the DT01AxA family of drives will start in August 2012.
