THE MQ01ACF050

Toshiba offers their products mostly to system builders so it was no surprise that once again we received the sample inside a static-free plastic bag.

Appearance-wise the MQ01ACF050 looks quite fragile but i think that's mainly because of its thickness (7mm).

On the sticker at the top of the drive we see the model name, revision, serial number, barcode, electrical requirements, factory rollout date, capacity and several certification and warning logos.

Once again all of the components are placed on the interior of the PCB for increased protection.

Right next to the SATA III power and data connectors we see 4 small pins (probably used for firmware updates).

Here we've placed the 7mm thick MQ01ACF050 right next to the 9.5mm thick TravelStar 5K1500 to showcase the difference in size.
