Toshiba's MKxx65GSX Series of 5,400 RPM hard disk drives (HDDs) provide high-capacity and energy-efficient solutions for a myriad of 2.5-inch applications as well as those traditionally served by larger form factor drives. Using a 320GB*-per-platter platform, the line spans capacity points from 160 to 640GB* across five different models. Durability, mobility and power efficiency are combined with a design approach focused on enhancing the environmental soundness of the MKxx65GSX line by decreasing or eliminating the use of certain toxic, hazardous or controversial chemicals** in the drive. In addition, power consumption can be reduced by more than 80% with the MKxx65GSX over like-capacity 3.5-inch hard disk drives, making the MKxx65GSX ideal for notebook, all-in-one and EnergyStar® desktop PCs, printers, set top boxes, video surveillance systems, external storage devices and other computing applications.

*One Gigabyte (1 GB) means 109 = 1,000,000,000 bytes using powers of 10. A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1 GB = 230 = 1,073,741,824 bytes, and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity will also be less if the computer includes one or more pre-installed operating systems, pre-installed software applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.
