 "Toshiba To Provide 1.8-inch HDD for Intel UMPC")
Toshiba Storage Device Division (SDD), has collaborated with Intel to provide a family of 1.8-inch hard disk drive (HDD) solutions for the newest-generation Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC) and MID (Mobile Internet Device) platform architecture, which made its debut today at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) 2007 Conference in Beijing, China.
Toshiba’s 1.8-inch HDDs provide the small footprint, high capacity, low power and ruggedness needed to deliver the UMPC experience using Intel’s new Intel Ultra Mobile Platform 2007.
Available in 30 GB, 40 GB, 60 GB, 80 GB and 100 GB capacities, Toshiba’s 1.8-inch HDDs deliver the storage capacity and responsiveness necessary to support the new platform’s advanced computing capabilities while meeting the longer battery life, durability and small footprint requirements of the mobile environment. The Intel Ultra Mobile Platform 2007 represents a significant step in the creation of a new category of connected mobile devices that support the full range of PC functionality including a seamless Internet experience, location adaptability and anytime connectivity for wireless email, instant messenger chat and VoIP.
“Toshiba’s dedication to the advancement of 1.8-inch form factor storage solutions is realized in the new UMPC and MID platforms,” said Robert DeLine, Director of Marketing of the Ultra Mobility Group at Intel Corporation. “These storage solutions, combined with Intel’s high-performance, energy efficient processor and chipset, are well-suited for the demanding consumer.”
“Toshiba’s continued technology leadership in mobile HDDs has enabled us to offer a robust storage solution for Intel’s next-generation UMPC and MID platforms,” said Maciek Brzeski, vice president of marketing at Toshiba Storage Device Division. “Storage is a key factor in propelling the UMPC platform forward. Thanks to our introduction of perpendicular magnetic recording two years ago, we have greatly advanced the storage capacity of 1.8-inch HDDs to provide a meaningful solution for the mobile computing arena.”
Toshiba will showcase its 1.8-inch HDDs for the new Intel Ultra Mobile Platform 2007 at the Intel Developer Forum in Beijing, China, April 17-18.
