Toshiba Launches Enterprise-Class 2.5-inch HDD
Published2017.06.14 10:44Toshiba has launched the AL14SX series, featuring enterprise-grade performance for essential server and storage applications.
Toshiba Corporation’s Storage/Electronic Device Solutions Company announced that it has added a new product to its lineup of enterprise-grade hard disk drives (HDDs) for essential server and storage applications.
The AL14SX series has a rotational speed of 15,000 RPM, a 2.5-inch form factor, and a SAS interface speed of 12 Gb/s. The newly released models include a 4K Native (4Kn) model and a 512 Emulation (512e) model employing Advanced Format Sector Technologies, as well as a 512 Native (512n) model optimized for existing applications and hypervisor environments. The AL14SX series is a product that can be selected to suit a wide range of customer applications.
The AL14SX3 series consists of three capacity products: 300GB, 600GB, and 900GB. The maximum capacity of the 900GB model is 50% larger than the 600GB model of the previous AL13SX series. Additionally, the sustained data processing speed of the 4Kn and 512e models is 290 MiB/s, which is about 19% faster than the previous model, and power efficiency (W/GB) has improved by about 28.7%.
There are also models that support Instant Erasing (SIE) functionality, which rapidly invalidates data written to the disk, enabling efficient disposal and reuse of data.

Will the adoption of flexible displays in HUDs accelerate?
Interest in Head-Up Displays (HUD) is growing as it becomes known that the compact SUV 'Kona,' set to be unveiled by Hyundai Motor on the 13th, will be equipped with a combiner-type HUD. The combiner type involves installing an HUD separately in the vehicle, rather than as an integrated component. HUD is a device that projects images of the vehicle's current speed, fuel level, navigation information, and other data onto the windshield directly in front of the driver, minimizing the need for the driver to shift their gaze away from the road while driving. As a system that can prevent accidents caused by not looking ahead due to navigation manipulation or smartphone use, it is receiving favorable evaluation for being safer than HDD (Head Down Display) as it can prevent blind spots. Currently, display panels used in HUD employ miniaturized Silicon Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS), MEMS Scanners, LCD, and OLED. As micro LED emerges with advantages of good efficiency, transparency capability, and flexibility potential, attention is focused on whether it will be applied to HUD as well.

Western Digital Launches HDD with 25% Increased Maximum Capacity
Western Digital has launched two HDD models—'WD Red 10TB' and 'WD Red Pro 10TB'—optimized for NAS (network storage) systems in personal, home, and small office environments. The newly introduced WD Red 10TB and WD Red Pro 10TB incorporate Western Digital's patented 'HelioSeal' technology, which increases the maximum capacity of the existing lineup by 25%. HelioSeal is a technology that minimizes internal resistance by using helium, which has 1/7 the air density, enabling the use of thinner disks while guaranteeing a stable recording interface. To date, more than 15 million units of Western Digital's high-capacity helium-based HDDs have been shipped and deployed in various storage-based systems, including NAS, providing ample capacity and outstanding reliability.
