4GB HD in Under an Inch

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the thats-just-pretty dept.

werwerf writes "In need of hard disk space but not much physical space? Toshiba is developing a sub inch HD capable of holding from 2 to 4Gb. Seems that future digicams won't need a compact flash anymore!" They expect to be in mass production by the fall. Also, News.com is reporting that Hitachi's 1-inch 4GB drive is in Apple's new iPod mini.

    Just thinking... Thumb drives will be come almost obselete.. Why tranfer data on to slow as hell flash chips. Thumb Hard Drives here we come. Just imagine 2gb storage, USB2 and I imagine cheaper than flash cards.

    Stop imagining and do your homework!

    CF is much faster than microdrives!! Particularly the new "Ultra" and "40x" CF cards. Have you ever *used* a microdrive?? They are slooowww.
