First Hitachi, Seagate and Toshiba, now Western Digital have decided to enter the mini-drive market. Western Digital's 1-inch hard drives will run at 3,600RPM at capacities of up to 6GB, and feature a CompactFlash Type II interface and form factor. Western Digital are also priding themselves on their anti-skip technology and power-saving technologies, which should make this a major force in the mini-drive market.
