The European division of Toshiba presents a novelty in the family of high performance hard drives X300. New 3.5-inch 8TB drive designed for power users, designers, and gamers who demand maximum functionality and large storage capacity.
High-performance 3.5-inch capacity drive for designers, gamers and other advanced PC users
X300 8TB hard drive features a SATA interface with up to 6Gb/s transfer rate and support for technologies that improve performance and reliability. This makes it a suitable option for powerful workstations, all-in-one PCs, gaming PCs and home media centers. Backing up and restoring large amounts of files, regular game saving, photo and video processing, running multiple applications simultaneously – the X300 can handle any workload.
Spindle speeds up to 7200 RPM. Features a high-capacity 128MB buffer and dual-level drive, which improves positioning accuracy and prevents the hard drive’s magnetic head from shifting due to vibration. Drive supports Advanced Format AF partitioning and hardware-assisted instruction queuing NVQ .
New 8TB drive features Perpendicular Magnetic Recording PMR and Tunnel Magneto-Resistive TMR Recording for high areal density, reliability and performance. Data storage security is ensured by a built-in shock sensor to increase resistance to vibration and head park technology to protect files during transport.
The X300 8TB high performance hard drive will be available in June 2016 at a recommended price of 27,888 Dollars. Two-year warranty.
