4.0GB from Toshiba’s 0.85-Inch Hard Disk Drive
Toshiba continues to push the envelope on small
form factor storage with its latest market introduction, a multi-gigabyte hard
drive that is 0.85 inches in diameter.It was in June that we announced Toshiba
had cracked the 2 GB barrier with its .85 inch hard drive so we guess it was
about time they announced another breakthrough – at IFA this week, the
Japanese company announced that the same drive has now been increased to 4
gigabytes capacity.
Only
a quarter the size of a 1.8-inch hard disk drive and about the size of a postage
stamp, the 0.85-inch HDD will boost the functionality of a new generation of
products, including mobile phones, digital audio players, PDAs, digital still
cameras, camcorders and more.Source:
