Toshiba’s MKxx59GSXP series of 5,400 RPM hard disk drives
is a long data sector counterpart to the MKxx76GSX line-up.
Both product series build upon the maturity of the Toshiba
320GB
1
per-platter architecture to offer the same big storage
capacities with a technology boost to enhance quality and
span 160 to 640GB. The MKxx59GSXP 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
2
.
The large storage capacities, ruggedness and cool operation
of the MKxx59GSXP models are well-suited for mobile
and compact, stationary applications. Their massive storage
capacity and energy efficiency also make the MKxx59GSXP
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 materials
