The company’s newest product, the “Unsplash”, is the world’s first technology to measure carbon dioxide and other substances in real-time.

The technology can be implemented using only a palm-sized sensor and can measure in as little as 1.7 seconds, compared to about five minutes for each component in the air with existing technology.

In an interview with Japan’s ABEMA Times, Akihiro Kojima, head of Toshiba’s Research and Development Center, said, “In fact, CO2 emissions have not been accurately measured in real-time before, and can only be estimated by rough calculations. With this technology, we will be able to measure the exact amount of CO2 in real time.

Akihiro Kojima also introduced the technology, which can be used to accurately calculate the greenhouse gas emissions reduced by factories and to promote the accelerated development of decarbonization technologies.

Technology companies have been active in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and many tech giants, including Apple, Qualcomm, Intel and Foxconn, have previously announced that they will complete their goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030~2050.

Toshiba’s 2021 hard drive shipments and shipping capacity grew by 4% and 61% respectively, with total shipments reaching 54.68 million units and a capacity of 187.5EB, including a 73% jump in near-line hard drive shipments and a 114% soar in shipping capacity.

Toshiba has developed various new technologies, including FC-MAMR (Magnetic Energy Control – Microwave Assisted Recording Technology), MAS-MAMR (Resonant Microwave Assisted Recording Technology) and disc stacking recording technologies. Toshiba hopes to achieve the 30TB hard drive capacity target first, and then move on to higher-capacity products.

Nearline hard drives are primarily positioned for applications between customers’ online and offline storage. It refers to the storage of data that is not frequently used, or that does not have a large amount of data access, on a storage device with lower performance. But at the same time, the device requirements for these are rapidly addressed and have high transfer rates. Near-line storage has relatively low-performance requirements, but requires relatively good access performance, along with large capacity.

Bloomberg reported earlier this week, citing people familiar with the matter, that several major Japanese banks had issued loan commitment letters to support the Japan Industrial Partners-led acquisition.

The deal was previously expected to reach around 2.2 trillion yen (about RMB 111.98 billion), but now it seems to be slightly higher. Previous sources had also said that the equity would be provided by a number of Japanese companies, including financial services group Orix, chipmaker Rohm and Japan Post Bank.

Overall, HDD shipments fell 42.5 percent in 2022, to about 35 million or 36 million.

Trendfocus believes that the biggest disaster for HDD storage manufacturers right now is the decline in demand from the enterprise cloud storage business. 2022 cloud storage company mergers and inventory corrections saw 10 million to 11 million fewer HDDs purchased in the fourth quarter compared to the same period last year.

By category, shipments of 3.5-inch HDDs for general users fell 1 percent, while shipments of 2.5-inch HDDs grew 15 percent. Analysts say that in 2022, 92 percent of laptops sold were equipped with solid-state drives, a figure that will rise to 96 percent in 2023.
