Throughout its 25 years in the European storage market, Toshiba has demonstrated
on-going commitment to environmental responsibility. As such, the new drives boast
low power consumption when idle, with spindle speed dropping to 5940 RPM
(maximum). Not only this, but the HDDs will utilise quiet seek operation to decrease
noise to only 25 dB.
“OEMs don’t want to have to choose between capacity and performance. In the face
of this data deluge it’s essential that they have high capacity storage devices to meet
their requirements. The DT01AxA range offers 3TB of capacity in a high performance
drive, that doesn’t drain power resources”. Said Martin Larsson, vice president,
Toshiba Electronics Europe. “We pride ourselves on being able to offer storage
devices to meet our customer every requirement. The new DT01AxA range further
cements Toshiba’s position as the only vendor to develop and supply a complete
storage product line up of SSDs and 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch HDDs.”
