Toshiba is releasing one high-capacity HDD after another lately. Today, the company announced [PDF] two new hard discs, which are poised to find their way into our notebooks very soon, the MK7559GSXP (750GB/pictured) and the MK1059GSM (1TB). The 750GB model is the world’s most capacious 2.5-inch/9.5mm high HDD. Toshiba released its predecessor (holding 640GB) back in September last year . The new HDD is a two-platter that rotates at 5,400rpm, has a seek time of 12ms and boasts an areal density of 541.4G bit/in2, which Toshiba says is the highest in the industry. The 2.5-inch, 1TB MK1059GSM is a three-platter that’s 12.5mm thick and features the same speed and seek time. Toshiba already offers samples of the 1GB HDD to certain manufacturers (samples for the 750GB model will be available next month). The final versions of both drives are scheduled to ship to manufacturers in the second and third quarters of 2010.

Dear friend, I hope the letter carriers get this utmost urgent note to you on time. If so, there’s still a good chance that you’ll be able to acquire a brand new Toshiba Blu-ray player for only $99. Think of your children. They need a Blu-ray player but not at the expense of other things. But this one from Newegg is so inexpensive that I hope you’ll be able to forgo a few speakeasy trips this month to cover it. You must, friend, you must. But hurry! T he deal is only good until 1:00pm PDT .

Toshiba is a huge company, but it’s not necessarily known as a maker of robots . Their “Wheelie” for indoor use is an autonomous, 2-wheeled robot, which is still in prototype stage and somehow reminiscent of a Segway in its basic design. Technical details are scare right now, but the main purpose of the robot is to one day help families out with daily chores, for example by serving food. For that you need to place plates and glasses on top of the little guy’s head and he will do the rest by himself. And the way Wheelie can balance out differences in height is pretty impressive (skip to 1.50 in the video below). Here’s a demo clip: Via Plastic Pals

So here’s a deal, but it’s a bit odd. The Toshiba R600 is advertised as being Toshiba’s ultimate notebook, and for the price it better be. You can buy it from Toshiba’s website for $2,099 for the base model which includes a 160GB hard drive, 3GB of RAM, and a 12.1″ screen, and comes standard with Windows 7. But that’s not the deal. If you don’t want to use Windows 7, and would prefer OpenSolaris, you can buy the exact same machine for $500 less . Odd, I know. And it definitely makes you wonder exactly how much you’re paying for that copy of Windows 7 Starter. [Thanks to Chris for the tip]
