Toshiba Introduces 300GB Small Form Factor 15k RPM HDD
Toshiba's Storage Products Business Unit today announced the Toshiba MK01GRRB/R series HDD, a 300GB 2.5-inch enterprise-class drive with a 15,000 RPM spin speed and a 6Gb/s SAS interface.
In addition, the Toshiba MK01GRRR models offer drive-based encryption to
help companies manage data security.
Toshiba's third generation 2.5-inch 15,000 RPM enterprise drives leverage an enhanced power condition state that reduces drive spin in idle states, significantly lowering power consumption.
The Toshiba MK01GRRR drive also features self-encryption technology designed to the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) "Enterprise SSC" specification. SED technology provides complete data security throughout the drive's usable life cycle - with no performance impact - and enables organizations to crypto-graphically erase protected data securely, enabling the ability to return, service, repurpose, or retire drives without lengthy data overwrite operations or physical destruction of the drive.
The Toshiba MK01GRRB/R series is scheduled to begin volume shipments in Q1 2012.
