Hardware manufacturer Toshiba has done it again, debuting what is known as a rugged hard drive. This in vehicle type of hard drive is made just especially for storing high capacity for telematics, navigation, and entertainment systems that are found in today’s vehicles.
The hard drives have a single platter design, run at 4,200 RPMs, and show a 78% increase in transfer and see times when compared to what is currently being utilized in vehicles. The MK2060GSC can withstand altitude variations of -300 to 12,000 meters during non-operating and -300 to 5,650 meters while operating, as well as operating temperatures of -30 to +85 degrees Celsius which is perfect for multimedia, navigation, and in-vehicle video recording found in today’s modern vehicles.
