1.8" USB Portable Hard Drive

Posted by timothy on from the lervely dept.

Jin-Wei Tioh writes "The folks at BlueSmoke take a look at Transcend's recently announced 1.8" USB 2.0 portable hard drive, the only one of its kind on the market. Roughly the size of a small stack of business cards, it is quite a bit smaller than existing 2.5" drives. It holds either 20GB or 40GB of data and is styled like an iPod."

    The VST FireFly was based on the 1.8" 5GB drive (the one that was in the original iPod). It was also extremely tiny; however, it was limited in capacity, and eventually discontinued.

  2. Not exactly first to market... by lemonylimey · · Score: 5, Informative

    Freecom have had an external hard drive based on a 1.8" unit for a couple of months now.
