Small hard drive from Toshiba

From DP Review comes the story of a new ultra-miniature hard disk from Toshiba: bq. Toshiba Corporation today announced development of 0.85-inch hard disk drive (HDD), the first hard drive to deliver multi-gigabyte data storage to a sub-one-inch form factor. Toshiba expects to start sampling the new drive in summer 2004 and to start mass production in autumn 2004, at an initial monthly production capacity of two to three hundred thousand units. Capacity is two to four GB making it ideal for Digital Video as well as still photography. Cool stuff! Posted by DaveH at January 8, 2004 1:28 PM
