Toshiba MK-4019GAX hard drive specifications
Toshiba MK4019GAX - hard drive - 40 GB - ATA-100
The GAX family of 2.5-inch hard disk drives employ ATA-5 interfaces in combination with fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) motors to deliver optimal performance while minimizing operating noise. The drives also offer improved operating shock at 200G operating and a rugged 800G non-operating shock. That means even greater reliability as well as stunning performance. The drive works with a rotational speed of 5, 400 rpm and achieves an average seek time of 12 ms. The enhance 16MB buffers on the GAX family offer a higher percentage of cache hits and faster time-to-data average seek time than industry standard 2MB versions. The massive 16MB buffer also leads to a reduction in the number of physical accesses to the disc, allowing data to stream from the disc uninterrupted by mechanical operations. These new family of drives clearly show that Toshiba is the pioneer in small form factor HDD, and its range of 2.5-inch HDD offers technical excellence and cutting-edge performance, backed up by a rugged design and reliability. The drives are suitable for high-end notebooks, desktop PCs and other digital devices.
