Toshiba MK5059GSXP 2.5-Inch SATA Hard Disk Drives Specifications And Datasheet

Toshiba MK5059GSXP 2.5-inch SATA Hard Disk Drives

Description

Toshiba’s MK5059GSXP series of 5,400 RPM hard disk drives is a long data sector counterpart to the MK76GSX line-up. Both product series build upon the maturity of the Toshiba 320GB1 per-platter architecture to offer the same big storage capacities with a technology boost to enhance quality and span 160 to 640GB. The MK5059GSXP series uses Advanced Format (AF) technology where data is stored on the media in 4,096 bytes per sector increments. Compatibility with legacy, 512 bytes per sector applications is maintained through AF emulation techniques, called 512e.

The large storage capacities, ruggedness, and cool operation of the MK5059GSXP models are well-suited for mobile and compact, stationary applications. Their massive storage capacity and energy efficiency also make the MK5059GSXP line an attractive, space-saving alternative to desktop hard drives. Power consumption can be reduced by more than 80% over like-capacity 3.5-inch hard disk drives.

While reducing or eliminating the use of certain toxic, hazardous or controversial chemicals and materials2 in the drive, the MK5059GSXP series is ideal for Windows® 73 and Mac®4 OS-based notebook, all-in-one and EnergyStar® desktop PCs, external storage devices, and other computing.

1. One Terabyte (1TB) = 1,000 Gigabytes (GB). One Gigabyte (1GB) means 109 = 1,000,000,000 bytes using powers of 10. A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1GB = 230 = 1,073,741,824 bytes, and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity will also be less if the computer includes one or more pre-installed operating systems, pre-installed software applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.
2. Concentrations of chlorine and bromine are below 900 ppm for each substance, surpassing the IEC61249-2-21:2003 criteria set for printed circuit boards by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), in applying the criteria to all components in the HDD. IEC is the leading global organization that defines internationally recognized standards for electrical, electronic, and associated technologies.
3. Windows is a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and other countries.
4. Mac and Mac OS are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.
