0 Ishiyoshi Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I have the Toshiba 60GB 1.8" HDD as discussed within this thread; and its model number is MK6006GAH. I acquired it recently for just under $200 for use with my Sony subnotebook TR5. So, the price quoted by the dealer is fine as long it includes shipping.For your reference, its specifications are as follows:Data Storage Physical: Per drive, formatted 60.0GB Number of Disks 2 Number of Data Heads 4 User Data Cylinders 55,728 Logical Configuration:Heads 16 Cylinders 16,383 User Sectors/Track at zone 0 63 Logical Blocks (LBA) 117,210,240 Data Transfer Rate: Buffer to Host- PIO 16.6MB/sec Buffer to Host- Ultra DMA 100MB/sec Maximum Internal 125.5 - 253.1 Mbits/sec Seek Time:Track-to-track 3ms Average 15ms Maximum 26ms Nominal Power Requirements:Voltage 3.3V (±5%) Energy Consumption Efficiency: 0.005W/GB Power Consumption: Start - 1.2watts Seeking - 1.4watts Reading - 1.4watts Writing - 1.4watts Idle - 0.6watts Standby - 0.2watts Sleep - 0.08watts Other: Rotational Speed 4,200rpm Average Latency 7.14ms Interface ATA 6Buffer 2MB Dimensions/Weight: Height 0.315" (8.0mm) Width 2.12" (54mm) Depth 3.09" (78.5mm) Weight 2.19 oz (62g) Ambient Temperature: Operating 41° - 140°F (5 to 60°C) Non-Operating -4° - 149°F (-20 to 65°C) Shipping -40° - 158°F (-40 to 70°C) Vibration and Shock: Operating Vibration 1.0G (5-50 Hz) Operating Shock 500G/2.0ms Non-Operating Shock 1,500G/1.0ms Reliability Characteristics Error Rates:Non-recoverable 1 in 1013 bits Seek 1 in 106 seeks MTTF (Power on hours) 300,000 Preventive Maintenance None Product Life 5 years or 20,000 power ON hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Stuge Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Thanks Ishi for the specifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 suland Posted January 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 (edited) I did not open my HD5 yet, but it's not going to be a problem I suppose...It's not sealed, so will do it easily. Where did you get your MK6006GAH, Ishiyoshi? Edited January 18, 2006 by suland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ishiyoshi Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Where did you get your MK6006GAH, Ishiyoshi?From good old eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Richard_p Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 I should see no problems arising, just as long as it will physically fit inside the player (i always thought 60gb drives were thicker though).Good luck!! - Oh, and i remember stuge posted a pictorial on taking apart the HD5 which was found on another forums. It should be of some help to you. Here it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
