Toshiba MQ01ABD100H 1TB Solid State Hybrid SATA3 2.5in Hard Drive

Toshiba's first generation of 2.5-inch (6.4 cm) hybrid drives provide fast SSD-like performance combined with the high capacity of a hard disk drive (HDD). The MQ01ABDxxxH series is ideal for high performance gaming notebooks and PCs. Its lightweight design makes it ideal for ultra-portable computing devices.

Toshiba's hybrid drives utilize self-learning algorithms that enable the drive to identify the user's access patterns, allowing frequently used data to be stored in the NAND cache making it quickly accessible to the host. Likewise, data that is used less often is moved from the NAND flash to the HDD for long term storage. This self-learning mechanism continues to develop throughout the lifespan of the drive, constantly improving the drive's performance.

Toshiba is the only storage vendor that designs and develops both HDD and NAND flash technology, the core components of hybrid drive technology ensuring the highest quality and innovation.
