Toshiba’s MKxx65GSX Series of 5,400 RPM hard disk
drives (HDDs) provide high-capacity and energy-ecient
solutions for a myriad of 2.5-inch applications as well as
those traditionally served by larger form factor drives. Using
a 320GB1-per-platter platform, the line spans capacity
points from 160 to 640GB1 across ve dierent models.
Durability, mobility and power eciency are combined
with a design approach focused on enhancing the
environmental soundness of the MKxx65GSX line by
decreasing or eliminating the use of certain toxic, hazardous
or controversial chemicals2 in the drive. In addition, power
consumption can be reduced by more than 80% with the
MKxx65GSX over like-capacity 3.5-inch hard disk drives,
making the MKxx65GSX ideal for notebook, all-in-one
and EnergyStar® desktop PCs, printers, set top boxes, video

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.

Concentrations of chlorine and bromine are below 900 ppm for each substance, surpassing the
IEC61249-2-21:2003 criteria set for printed circuit boards by the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC), in applying the criteria to all components in the HDD. IEC is the leading
global organization that denes internationally-recognized standards for electrical, electronic
and associated technologies.
