Yesterday, Toshiba introduced two new 2.5-inch laptop hard drives to add to their lineup. The 750GB model is a standard 9.5mm-thick, two-platter drive that can be housed in any laptop that has a SATA 2 connection. The 1TB is a 12.5mm-thick, three-platter laptop drive that can only be used in most newer laptops that are able to house such a drive.
Both drives spin at 5400RPM and have 8MB of cache on the 3Gb/s interface. They also sport Toshiba’s “silent seek” technology, which the company claims that the hard drives are as quiet when seeking as they are when idling. The 750GB drive is expected to ship in Q2 2010, while the 1TB will ship later in Q3 2010.
