The dual-drive MQ04ABD200 offers 2TB of storage capacity in a compact 2.5-inch form factor, just 9.5mm thick. Its 6Gb/s SATA interface and 5400rpm spindle speed, combined with a large 128MiB buffer, result in a 34 percent increase in peak transfer rates and a 50 percent improvement in energy efficiency compared to the previous generation 1TB mobile-type model, the Toshiba MQ01ABD100.
"The value, performance, and space efficiency of the new 2TB MQ04 model have been greatly improved by utilizing our field-proven dual-disk design," says Takahiro Kasahara, Senior Manager, HDD Business Unit at Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH. "Achieving 2TB capacity in the industry-standard 2.5-inch form factor with a height of only 9.5mm is a major breakthrough.".
