Toshiba MK5061GSY 500GB Serial ATA hard disk drive

500GB HDD - 2.5", 7200RPM, SATA 3.0 Gb/sec, 16MB Designed for optimal performance and high durability, the Toshiba MKxx61GSY series of 7200 RPM hard disk drives deliver 160 to 640GB of storage capacity in the 2.5-inch form factor. The MKxx61GSY family of Serial ATA drives offers extreme power efficiency and superior operating acoustics over 3.5-inch drives for today’s high-end notebook PCs, gaming laptops, and mobile workstations as well as Energy Star® all-in-one and slimline desktop PCs.

Toshiba couples greater power efficiency of the MKxx61GSY drives with other environmentally-conscious solutions including RoHS-compliance and utilization of components that reduce PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and BFRs (brominated flame retardants) as well as meet halogen-free standards.

An optional free-fall sensor responds to drop events and securely locks the recording heads in place off the media before system impact. This provides an additional level of ruggedness and durability to the MKxx61GSY drives and is particularly suitable for mobile applications.
