As we have progressed, our gadgets have become smaller and our storage
needs have become larger! Manufacturers such as Toshiba are aware of
these needs and that is why they are proud to introduce their 240GB 1.8
inch HDD.

These new 240 GB drives will be in mass production from the end of
September so you won't have to wait too long for themย and I'll be
honest, these are worth the wait. According to Toshiba Corporation, in
their press release:

'Toshiba’s 240GB MK2431GAH and 120GB MK1231GAL achieve an areal
density of 344 gigabits per square inch (531.9Mbit/mm2), the
industry’s highest areal density1) in the 1.8-inch form factor,
using perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technology, which Toshiba
introduced and commercialized in 2005' and 'The new 1.8-inch HDD series
uses a new mechanical and firmware design for enhanced durability,
making the 80GB and 120GB single-platter HDDs well suited for slim-line
mobile gadgets and PC applications. The new dual-platter 240GB MK2431GAH
product is especially suitable for high-end digital video camcorders as
well as light-weight mobile PC applications which require high capacity
and high shock resistance to protect the users’ valuable digital
assets.'

On top of all this, the 240GB offering also offers improved energy
consumption and is deemed an eco-friendly product as the CO2 emissions
have been decreased immensely. It follows in its eco-friendliness by
