Toshiba announced the release of 12 models 3.5-inch hard drives in two series: DT01ACA *** and DT01ABA ***.
Note in the series DT01ACA *** and DT01ABA *** we are not dealing with a copy of previous series WD Blue and WD Green, but a new disk-based one-terabyte magnetic platters. Accordingly, Both series come with a capacity of 3 TB, based only on three magnetic disk. 2 TB Models and below are based on two plates. The increase in recording density has reduced the energy consumption of new products, apparently - slightly reduced the random access time and reduced noise levels by 1-2 dB. In each series, we add, the letter V in the end - hard are optimized for streaming video.
Separately, Toshiba reported that the option may reduce the spindle speed in idle mode. This happens automatically, but requires special settings. But the power consumption, for example, a 3-terabyte model DT01ACA300 can be reduced from 5.2 watts in idle mode (normal), up to 2.4 watts in idle mode with low rotation speed (-54% of consumption).
The supply of new products will begin later this month. Related Products :
