Fitting all of your media onto your laptop is now set to become a little bit easier after the announcement of the world's first 320GB notebook drive. Currently, you can only find 2.5" HDDs in variations up to 250GB.
Toshiba Storage Device Division
announced a new line of 5,400 RPM HDDs that will vary in capacities from 80GB up to 200GB in the MK-46GSX and MK-52GSX series. These new drives will sport 120GB and 160GB-per-platter technologies, respectively, and will use the Serial ATA interface with a 3.0Gbps data transfer rate.
If a 5,400 RPM HDD just isn't right for you, you can go with the new, high-end MK-49GSY series that features capacities up to 200GB at 7,200 RPM. These faster RPM drives will have a 895.9Mbps media transfer rate as opposed to the 801Mbps and 759Mbps media transfer rates of the MK-52-GSX and MK-46GSX lines.
All three families will have free-fall sensor options available on select models.
