Toshiba MK6465GSX 640GB hard drive

Toshiba breaks yet another barrier with their new MK6465GSX hard drive, where this 5,400 RPM 2.5″ model is able to offer up to a whopping 640GB worth of storage space, making it the largest capacity of its kind at that size. The MK6465GSX will feature an areal density of 817.9Mbit/mm2, (528.5 Gbit/in2), and while it maxes out at 640GB, you can also choose from 500GB, 320GB, 250GB and 160GB models to suit just about any budget. Toshiba has also thrown in a free-fall sensor option for added durability just in case you actually drop the host system by accident. No idea on pricing, but it ought to ship to OEMs and distributors this month. [Press Release]
