Toshiba's 20GB 1.8-inch embedded hard disk drive has been one of the most successful OEM products from the Storage Device Division product range. The drive made its debut in some of the most highly desired and successful multimedia gadgets of 2003 and due to its popularity will be available in further product in 2004.
The growing number of consumers using video cameras, wearable computers, automotive and personal jukebox systems have spurred a demand for top quality storage hardware. Hard disk drives these days need to meet more than a handful of the usual pre-requisites and go beyond the typical high capacity, small form factor classification. As most people know, Toshiba Storage Device Division has been the leader in the "niche" strorage sector. However, as multimedia gadgets become increasingly widespread, Toshiba is committed to being the forefront storage manufacturer by anticipating future technologies and producing hard disk drives before the trend.
Toshiba's hard disk drives, such as the MK2004GAL, are highly ruggedised and durable, with operating shock resistance of 200G, making it extremely suitable for demanding environments. It is also a more cost effective storage solution than traditional technologies such as Flash and other less powerful HDDs, exceeding other storage products on a cost-per-megabyte and portability basis.
Look out for the MK2004GAL in a multimedia device near you!
