Toshiba Boosts Small Storage
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 05:00 PM
"Toshiba's new 1.8-inch hard drives for personal music players can store as much data as hard drives on some low-end PCs, the company announced Wednesday. The 1.8-inch drives now come in 20GB and 40GB varieties, Toshiba said in a statement. The company's hard drives are used in ultraportable notebook PCs and automotive applications, a Toshiba spokesperson said in a statement."
What do you think - will we ever see Pocket PCs with on-board hard drive-based storage? When I was at Fry's in Las Vegas a few weeks ago, I was looking at the Rio Nitrus, which has a 1.5 GB hard drive attached to it's motherboard. It added a bit of weight to the unit, but not much, and the overall size was still amazingly small. Wouldn't it be amazing to have a Pocket PC with that type of storage in it? :mrgreen:
