Durability
Toshiba, the pioneer in small form factor hard disk drives
(HDDs), continues to deliver innovative storage solutions with
the addition of three new high-capacity, high-performance Serial
ATA 1.8-inch HDDs. e MK**29GSG family features the
industry’s rst quarter-terabyte 1.8-inch HDD along with
120GB1 and 160GB1 capacity drives.
Combined with the new micro-SATA connector, Serial-ATA
3.0Gb/s interface and 5400 RPM spin speed, the MK**29GSG
family oers small and light-weight solutions, at increased data
transfer rates for enhanced performance, in sub-notebook PCs.

1. One Gigabyte (1 GB) means 109 = 1,000,000,000 bytes using powers of 10.
A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the denition of 1 GB = 230 = 1,073,741,824 bytes, and therefore
shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity will also be less if the
computer includes one or more pre-installed operating systems, pre-installed
software applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.
2. RoHS Compatible: This product is compatible with European Union Directive
2002/95/EC. Restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS), which restricts use of lead, cadmium,
mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE.
3. Buffer space available to the user.
4. Energy consumption efciency is calculated based on power consumption
divided by formatted capacity, as dened by Japanese law.
Subject to Change: While Toshiba has made every effort at the time of publication
to ensure the accuracy of the information provided herein, product specifications,
configurations, prices, system/component/options availability are all subject to
change without notice.
