The Toshiba drive has a data density of 528.5 GB per square inch, and because of this high density it can reach the full capacity on just two storage platters. Toshiba claims that such high density makes the drive more environment friendly as less carbon dioxide is released during its making.
The new drive comes with 8MB of buffer memory. It will be available in different capacities of 500GB, 320GB, 250GB and 160GB.
