100GB, 9.5mm thick HD from Toshiba

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the thats-a-whole-lotta-nekkid dept.

zmcnulty writes "Toshiba has announced their new hard drive today with a 100GB capacity. It's a 2.5 inch drive, is only 9.5mm tall, and supports ATA/100. The (Japanese) Impress Watch article I translated offers a couple more details, though not many. The OEM sample price is about $1,092 USD...but don't ask me what that means for consumers. The previous capacity title was held by IBM with their 80GB Travelstar."

    Exactly why I run a desktop...to dump all my files on, so I don't spend a grand just on laptop storage.

  2. Inventions to help iPod by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    I know what would help iPod: a battery that you could actually buy in most stores, and replace just by opening a hatch. No more problem of tossing out the iPod to buy a new one when the battery dies. That would be an advance, no other competitor has a thing like that!

  3. Nothing spectacular. by corngrower · · Score: 0, Troll

    This just looks to be an incremental improvment over their existing 80 GB drive. Nothing revolutionary here. Ho hum.
