Durability

Oering up to 240GB1 in the 1.8-inch form factor, the Toshiba

MK**31GAL/GAH hard disk drive series provides industryleading storage solutions for compact and handheld applications using the Parallel ATA interface. e MK**31GAL line features

two single-platter, 5 millimeter-high 801 and 120GB1 models,

while the high-end, MK2431GAH uses 2-platters in an 8

millimeter-tall package to achieve 240GB1 in storage capacity.

e media design and low-power consumption options make the

MK**31GAL/GAH drives suitable for integration into portable

media players, digital video camcorders and Linux-based, ultra-

portable PC applications. e 1.8-inch series represents Toshiba’s

commitment to enhancing the environmental soundness of its

products by eliminating certain hazardous and toxic substances

used in the drive components, as well as enhancing the power-

eciency of all new hard drives designed and produced

by Toshiba since late 2008.

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 denition 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. Free of brominated ame retardants (BFR) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC); hazardous halogens, antimony trioxide and red phosphorous also eliminated from all components in the hard drive.

4. Buffer space available to the user.

5. Energy consumption efciency is calculated based on power consumption divided by formatted capacity, as dened 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.
