Toshiba is which country

Toshiba's headquarters building in Tokyo, Japan Toshiba (TOSHIBA), Japan's largest semiconductor manufacturer, is also the second largest integrated motor manufacturer, under the Mitsui Group. Toshiba was originally known as Tokyo Shibaura Electric Co., Ltd. in 1939 by the merger of Shibaura Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Tokyo Electric Co., Ltd.; from its inception in 1875 to the present day, it has been a long course of 133 years.

Entering the 1990s, Toshiba has made rapid progress in the fields of digital technology, mobile communication technology and network technology, and Toshiba has successfully transformed itself from a giant in the home appliance industry to a pioneer in the IT industry. In 2000, Toshiba's semiconductor sales ranked second in the world after INTEL. The market share of notebook computers remained No. 1 in the world for seven consecutive years. By the end of 2000, IT output had reached 74% of Toshiba's total output. Toshiba was formed by the merger of two Japanese companies in 1939. The first of the two companies was Tanaka Manufacturing, which was the first domestic telegraph equipment manufacturing company in Japan; it was founded by Hisashige Tanaka in 1875. In 1904 the company was renamed Shibaura Manufacturing. At the beginning of the 20th century, the company specialized in supplying heavy electrical and mechanical equipment to Japan, and after the Meiji Restoration, the company became one of the world's leading industrial companies. The second company, originally called Shirahatsushasei, was founded in 1890 and was the first company in Japan to produce Shirahatsusha table lamps. This company went on to produce a wide range of consumer electronics, and was renamed Tokyo Electric in 1899. In 1939, Tokyo Electric and Shibaura Manufacturing officially merged to become Toshiba today, with the new name being the beginning of each company. The English name was also based on the Japanese phonetic transcription; To stands for To and Shiba for Shiba. However, it was not until 1984 that the company officially began using the new brand name Toshiba. Toshiba expanded rapidly by acquiring other companies, and in the 1940s and 1950s Toshiba purchased many manufacturers of heavy machinery and industrial related companies. However, after the 1970s Toshiba began to establish subsidiaries to separate the acquired companies from its core industries. These subsidiaries included Toshiba EMI (1960), Toshiba Electronics (1974), Toshiba Chemical (1974), Toshiba Lighting Technology (1989), Toshiba America Information Systems (1989), and Toshiba Handling Devices (1999). Toshiba laptops Toshiba was the first Japanese manufacturer to make many products in Toshiba laptops, such as: radar (1942), transistor TVs and microwave ovens (1959), color video telephones (1971), Japanese word processors (1978), notebook computers (1986), DVDs (1995), and HD DVDs (2005). In 1987, Toshiba was accused of illegally selling propellers to the Soviet military to make very quiet submarines. The deal was a violation of the Cold War-era CoCom agreement. Relations between the United States and Japan suffered as a result of the Toshiba DVD burner. In the end, two senior Toshiba executives were indicted and arrested, and Toshiba DVD Recorder suffered fines from both countries. In 2001, Toshiba signed a contract with Orion Electronics, the world's largest foundry and component supplier of video-related electronics. Toshiba asked them to manufacture consumer TVs and video recorders for the North American market. In December 2004, Toshiba announced that it would cease production of conventional tube TVs. In 2006, Toshiba ended the production of plasma TVs, and Orion, as Toshiba's largest OEM, took over the technical specifications of Toshiba's CRT TVs and plasma TVs and sold them under its own brand name (Orion). Toshiba has invested heavily in SED technology in order to strengthen its competitiveness in digital thin TVs in the future. Before World War II, Toshiba was a member of the Mitsui Zaibatsu. Today, Toshiba is part of the Mitsui family (a loose group organization), and Toshiba has preferred relationships with companies in the family, such as Mitsui Bank. However, in contrast to the close ties of the Mitsubishi group of companies, Toshiba enjoys considerable freedom of association with Toyota Motor, another major player in the Mitsui family. In July 2005, BNFL decided to sell Westinghouse for an estimated $1.8 billion. This sale proposal attracted the attention of many manufacturers, including Toshiba, Kiwi Electric and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. The final result was that Toshiba bought Westinghouse in January 2006 for $5 billion. The sale has been the subject of much debate; many experts believe that it was not wise for BNFL to sell the world's largest nuclear reactor manufacturer at a time when the world's demand for energy continues to increase, especially when major countries such as China, the United States, and the United Kingdom are expected to increase their investments in nuclear power generation. Toshiba is an important member of the world's chip makers. In the 1980s Toshiba and NEC were the two largest semiconductor manufacturers in the world. Since the 1990s Toshiba has been one of the top 5 chip makers in the world. In 2008 Toshiba was ranked 3rd behind Intel and Samsung, but ahead of Texas Instruments and STMicroelectronics. This year, Toshiba's business in China has been carried out for 38 years, and what remains unchanged is the determination and efforts to "develop with China***". Today, Toshiba has operations in China in the fields of digital products, electronic equipment and components, social infrastructure, and home appliances. In 1995, Toshiba (China) Co., Ltd. was established to strengthen Toshiba's overall management and strategy formulation functions for its enterprises in China. So far, Toshiba has established 64 joint venture and wholly-owned companies in China, with a total investment of more than RMB 8 billion, a total of about 23,000 employees, and a business scale (sales in China + exports to China) of about RMB 57 billion in 2005. Toshiba's global market is divided into four regions except Japan: Europe, America, Asia and China, with China being the only country-based market and the largest independent market for Toshiba after Japan and the United States. The product range includes the entire Toshiba product line, and the business model involves R&D, procurement, production, logistics, sales, service, environmental protection and many other businesses. For Toshiba, the United States had the largest overseas market share in 2003, with China in second place at about 20%. It is expected that by 2008 Toshiba's business in China will equal or even exceed the size of the United States. China has undoubtedly become an important pillar of Toshiba's global business. Supporting the continuous and rapid development of Toshiba's business in China are the excellent local talents and strategic partners in China. The cultivation and bold appointment of talents reflect Toshiba's full trust and respect for local employees. The win-win relationship with Chinese enterprises has enabled Toshiba to gain a wider scope of development.

Toshiba HD DVD HD DVD HD DVD HD DVD (or: High Definition DVD) is a digital optical storage format for blue-beam optical disc products, which has evolved into one of the high-definition DVD standards, and was formulated and developed by the HD DVD Promotion Group.HD DVD, along with its competitor Blu-ray Disc (Blu-ray Disc), has been developed by Toshiba. HD DVD is similar to its competitor, Blu-ray Disc, in that the discs are optical digital storage media the same size as a CD (120 mm in diameter), and use blue light at a wavelength of 405 nanometers. HD DVD was promoted by the HD DVD Promotion Association formed by Toshiba, NEC, and Sanyo Electric, with HP (which also supported BD), Microsoft, and Intel joining the HD DVD camp, and mainstream studio Universal Pictures was also a member. However, in 2008, with the announcement of Warner's departure from HD DVD and the decision of several U.S. retail chains to support Blu-ray products, Toshiba finally announced on February 19 that it would terminate its HD DVD business.

Efficient Read Rate The MK7559GSXp utilizes the latest Serial-ATA 2.0 interface, which is capable of theoretical transfer speeds of up to 3Gb per second. I believe that DIY enthusiasts also know that the Serial-ATA 2.0 interface supports hot-plugging, fast transfer speeds, high implementation efficiency, and supports "actual data transfer rate + support for true SATA command sequencing (NCQ) + 2M" (NCQ is known as the "full-speed"). NCQ is called "Native Command Queuing (NCQ)". Native Command Queuing (NCQ) is one of the most advanced and anticipated features of SATA II, and is a key component of the SATA II specification, and is the only SATA II specification technology related to hard drive performance. NCQ is a powerful interface/hard drive technology that optimizes the order in which jobs are executed inside the hard drive to improve performance and longevity) cables. Only the advanced Serial-ATA 2.0 interface supports the Port Selector (PS) mechanism that allows two different host ports to be connected to a single drive, thus creating one path for that drive. Another technology is Port Multiplier, a PM mechanism that allows an active host to communicate with multiple drives. These performance and technological advantages provide a flagship new hard disk for a wide range of DIY enthusiasts!
