Though hard disk drive technology has improved in recent times, you’d be a brave soul indeed to use one for more than a couple of years without backing it up. But now a team of scientists has made a hard disk from sapphire which it claims will last 1 million years—just don’t expect to be able to afford it. More »
Western Digital has produced 2.5-inch hard drives capable of 10,000 RPM speeds in the past, but capacities have often been limited. Toshiba is hoping to push ahead in the quest for fast speeds and roomy drives with the introduction of a 900GB hard drive with a 10,500RPM spin speed. That’s not the only capacity available either, with 300GB, 450GB, and 600GB versions also up for grabs.
Just like the old drives, you won’t be able to stick these in your laptop thanks to the 15mm thickness. Toshiba is including a 3.5-inch bracket so you can mount the drives into your desktop computer, with the company saying the drives are ideal for server use. Average seek time for the drives is 3.7ms, and write is 4.1ms. The drive is equipped with a SAS 2.0 6Gbit/s interface and a 64MB buffer for the best transfer speeds possible.
Unfortunately, Toshiba hasn’t mentioned exactly what the drives will cost, or when eager customers can get their hands on them. Judging from the interface and capacity, we can’t imagine them being cheap, so maybe start saving now just in case. All the nitty gritty details can be found on Toshiba’s website in the meantime.

A 2.5-inch drive spinning at speeds up to 10,000RPM? Sure, we’ve seen it before, but only with enough room for 600GB worth of data. Toshiba, however, has trumped its forebears by upping the capacity to 900GB with its new 2.5-inch HDD, dubbed the AL13SE. 300GB, 450GB and 600GB flavors are offered as well, and all of them spin at up to 10,500RPM and promise a 32% increase in sustained transfer rates over previous-gen drives. Additionally, the AL13SE sends and receives data via a 6Gbps SAS 2.0 connection to make life easier on IT guys than those SATA drives most of us use. Unfortunately, Tosh isn’t telling how much the new drives will cost, nor when they’ll be available for purchase, but you can dig into all the drive details you can handle in the PR after the break and at the source link below.

Ever heard a story involving Western Digital Green hard drives within a NAS? It probably didn’t end well. For whatever reason, the aforesaid outfit’s Green portfolio never has been a hit in the network attached storage world, but the company’s (in)directly addressing precisely that with its new line of WD Red HDDs. Specifically, these are called out as being “NAS hard drives” — SATA interfacing spinners engineered to hold up under the continual pressures of serving information to home and small office NAS users. They’re destined to end up in homes with “one to five drive bays,” with the units available in 3.5-inch 1TB ($109), 2TB ($139) and 3TB ($189) capacities. WD’s trumpeting the Red line’s NASware technology, which is said to “reduce customer downtime and simplify the integration process.” Those taking WD at its word can find ’em on store shelves this week; everyone else can hang tight for the eventual flood of torture test reviews.
