Toshiba Expands HDD Offerings

Toshiba Digital has announced the broadening of its hard disk drive (HDD) offerings with additional models featuring 2 and 3 terabytes1 (TB). 

The DT01ACA Desktop series of 3.5-inch SATA 7,200 RPM HDDs are targeted at desktop all-in-one and gaming PCs, home servers, external HDDs, and consumer electronics products such as set-top boxes (STBs) and digital video recorders (DVRs). The DT01ACA Desktop HDDs feature 1 terabyte-per-platter technology in capacities ranging from 500GB to 3TB (1, 2 or 3 platters). 

The new 3.5-inch HDDs complement Toshiba’s broad family of HDD and solid state drive (SDD) solutions for desktop, client and enterprise markets, giving customers a one-stop shop for all their storage needs. Toshiba’s strength as a storage innovator was recently highlighted with the announcement of the world’s first SSDs using 19nm MLC NAND flash memory. Concurrently, Toshiba is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its invention of NAND flash.

“Toshiba’s entrance into the desktop class hard drive market enhances our full product portfolio,” said Kashiwabara, Senior Manager of Marketing Sec., Toshiba Digital Media Network Taiwan Corporation. “We expect to continue to grow unit volume as Toshiba is uniquely positioned to support storage requirements from client to cloud computing.” 

The 2 and 3TB 3.5-inch HDD series will start shipping this month.
