Toshiba couples portability with state-of-the-art technology
in a new series of 2.5-inch, 5,400 RPM hard disk drives to
deliver 750GB and 1TB* storage capacities in a 12.5mm-high
package. e MKxx59GSM series of SATA drives target
today’s massive digital content needs with capacity points
typically supported by larger form factor 3.5-inch drives.
New design elements of the MKxx59GSM series drive include
Advanced Sector Format technology, which utilize the industry
standard 4K byte-per-sector conguration and improved
error-correcting code functionality to enhance data integrity
while making more ecient use of the storage surface area.
Furthermore, Toshiba’s environmental initiatives including
lower power consumption techniques and components
that reduce reliance on harmful chemicals, materials and
compounds are also represented in the MKxx59GSM design.
e MKxx59GSM series drive is designed to support strong
growth segments for high-capacity storage purposes including
external add-on storage and tape replacement products as well
as, docking stations, gaming notebooks, mobile work stations
and other capacity-hungry applications.
Optimized for capacity

1One Terabyte (1TB) = 1,000 Gigabytes (GB). One Gigabyte (1GB) 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 1GB = 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.
