Toshiba MK2001MPL 2Gb PC-card 1.8" HDD

Toshiba introduces World's Highest Capacity 1.8-inch and Reinforces 2.5-inch
HDD series
10 May, 2000
Leads way in advances in HDD for portable computing and for next generation
mobile products
Tokyo--Toshiba Corporation today extended the scope of its industry-leading
hard-disk-drive business with the introduction of its first 1.8-inch HDD
and, at the same time, reinforced its line-up of 2.5-inch HDD for portable
computers with new drives offering the highest area density on the market.
With its lineup of super slim 2.5-inch HDD, Toshiba has long led the way in
providing mobile storage solutions that combine high capacity with rugged
design and reliability. The company has consistently assured that users of
portable PCs can enjoy the latest advances in operating systems and
applications, use complex data, including business graphics and digital
photos, and enjoy digital music and video on portable PCs. A new generation
of 6-, 10- and 20-gigabyte 2.5-inch HDD sees Toshiba continue in this
pioneering role, while the introduction of a 2-gigabyte 1.8-inch HDD brings
Toshiba performance to a much wider range of portable equipment.
The company's first 1.8-inch HDD, the MK2001MPL, draws on the advanced
technologies Toshiba has developed in its 2.5-inch HDD to achieve a
world-leading 2-gigabyte capacity in a drive that stands only 5mm high and
is a feather-light 55 grams. The drive is compliant with the PC card Type II
card standard, and can be used in current and future devices with PC card
slots. In addition to portable personal computers, promising areas of
application include hand-held mobile terminals, digital video cameras,
digital still camera, and digital music players, car navigation systems,
digital set-top boxes and digital VCR. Portable applications are supported
by a drive voltage as low as 3.3V and a resistance to shock of 1,000G in
non-operating status.
Mass production of 1.8-inch MK2001MPL will begin in July.
