3.5-inch HDD for consumer products
New Products ( 5 )
TOKYO —
Toshiba has released a family of advanced 3.5-inch HDDs that bring multi-terabyte capacities to the consumer space. Four series of high-performance models offer a total of 12 variants: four models offering 3TB capacities, complemented by models offering 2TB and 1.5TB levels of storage. In adding these drives to its current line of 250GB to 1TB consumer-use 3.5-inch HDDs, Toshiba will expand its product coverage to a wide ranging 250GB to 3TB.
The high capacity storage devices that add to the performance of today’s digital devices, among them desktop PCs, external hard drives, digital video drives and TVs with an integrated recording function, must match advances in HD image quality and the proliferation of TV channels and other digital sources with density advances that can meet increasingly heavy demands on capacity. Toshiba is making this possible with a new product line-up that includes 3.5-inch drives with a full 3TB capacity.
The new line-up is configured to meet diverse needs. The DT01ACA300, DT01ACA200 and DT01ACA150 offer a rotational speed of 7,200 rpm, appropriate for high performance desktop PCs. The DT01ACA300V, DT01ACA200V and DT01ACA150V are equipped with a streaming function to handle data transfer within a specified time, and are optimized for applications such as digital video recorders that must record and playback video data without any delay. Toshiba has also responded to energy-conscious users with low power consumption models offering rotational speeds of 5,700 rpm and 5,940 rpm; compared to the 7,200rpm variants, these models reduce power consumption by 19 to 25%.
Since the start of this fiscal year, as the result of a series of strategic investments that culminated in securing capabilities in 3.5 inch HDD for consumer products, Toshiba has realized the ability to develop and market hard disk drives in all key product areas. By complementing this with SSD solutions for both enterprise and consumer applications, Toshiba is uniquely positioned to meet demand across the entire range of customer needs.

But unless you are backing up your data, when the drive fails, which it will, you'll loss all of your data. So you will also need a 3TB backup drive.

Heh, good luck getting a 3TB SSD.
SSD for OSes, programs, and oft-used data files. Everything else, HD is fine.
