Toshiba announces new 3TB 2.5-inch hard disk drives

Who doesn't want more storage? Toshiba has just announced that it will begin shipping its newest 2.5-inch 3TB hard disk drives this May. This drive is currently the industry's largest capacity drive for the 2.5-inch form factor.

The new drive, dubbed the MQ03ABB300, achieves its 3TB capacity by using 4 platters of 750GB. In this way, it is also the first 2.5-inch hard disk drive to achieve 750GB per platter. The drive will spin at 5400 rpm. Not surprisingly, the drive will see action in personal external storage devices and also notebooks.

Sample shipments to Toshiba's partners will begin later this year in May.
