Another key feature of the drives is an internal shock sensor to protect data during operation, which makes them idea of professional working on the move.

New P300 series drives include further improvements such as innovative techniques that minimise head movement and enhanced access sequencing. These features serve to reduce the mechanical workload while improving performance to satisfy the needs of desktop PCs, workstations and gaming rigs alike.

“These latest additions to the P300 series deliver more capacity at a lower power consumption, while delivering gamers, graphic designers and users of desktop workstations extended storage capacity,” says Larry Martinez-Palomo, General Manager of the HDD Business Unit at Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH. “The 4TB and 6TB P300 show Toshiba’s commitment to fulfilling the growing HDD capacity needs of the market while maintaining performance, quality and reliability.
