MQ01ABU-W Series

Toshiba's MQ01ABU-W series of self-encrypting 5400 rpm HDDs (SED) deliver up to 500 GB of data storage capacity in an ultra-compact 2.5-inch 7 mm form factor. The MQ01ABU-W leverages Toshiba's Wipe security feature which automatically erases data when the HDD is accessed by an unregistered system. Unlike software-based encryption which relies on the system CPU for encryption processing, the MQ01ABU-W series leverages its onboard crypto-processor to encrypt at full interface speed without impacting system level performance.

Capacity Model Number

  • Product image may represent a design model.
  • Definition of capacity: Toshiba defines a megabyte (MB) as 1,000,000 bytes, a gigabyte (GB) as 1,000,000,000 bytes and a terabyte (TB) as 1,000,000,000,000 bytes.  A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1GB = 230 = 1,073,741,824 bytes and therefore shows less storage capacity.  Available storage capacity (including examples of various media files) will vary based on file size, formatting, settings, software and operating system, such as Microsoft Operating System and/or pre-installed software applications, or media content.  Actual formatted capacity may vary.
  • A kibibyte (KiB) means 210, or 1,024 bytes, a mebibyte (MiB) means 220, or 1,048,576 bytes, and a gibibyte (GiB) means 230, or 1,073,741,824 bytes.
  • MTTF (Mean Time to Failure) is not a guarantee or estimate of product life; it is a statistical value related to mean failure rates for a large number of products which may not accurately reflect actual operation.  Actual operating life of the product may be different from the MTTF.
  • Read and write speed may vary depending on the host device, read and write conditions, and file size.
  • Wipe technology: Toshiba's unique technology which automatically erases data when a drive is accessed by an unregistered system.
  • "2.5-inch" and "3.5-inch" mean the form factor of HDDs or SSDs. They do not indicate drive's physical size.
