Product info

Toshiba Storage Device Division continues to extend its market leading hard disk drive family by introducing the MK1214GAH. The new dual-platter 120GB drive has been designed for high performance notebooks as well as storage-hungry electronic devices. It offers an areal density of 295.1Mbits/mm² which is Toshibas highest areal density to date for 1.8-inch notebook hard disk drives. Toshiba moved the technical barriers inherent to packing more data on an HDD. It can store up to 30000 high quality MP3 files or just over 150 hours of DVD quality MPEG-4 video. Alongside with the capacity increase, the 120GB HDD operates at 4200rpm.

The drive utilises the new ATA-7 interface and delivers a data transfer rate of 100MB/s. In addition, through the use of a Low Insertion Force connector (LIF), it is 7 millimetres shorter than normal 1.8-inch HDDs and allows manufacturers the possibility to produce even smaller products without compromising on performance or storage capacity.
