Smaller Hard Drives From Toshiba


Toshiba's already small hard drives are shrinking a notch smaller it would seem. Why this is noteworthy is that they are used in the iPod line. New iPods have been released in August in anticipation of the Christmas season. I would expect for these drives to help shave a little heft off the current line. So, in the end, the Mini may be getting "Minier?"
Toshiba's Storage Device division has revised its current range of 1.8-inch hard drives into a new, smaller form factor.

The new casing is available in 60GB, 40GB, 30GB, and 20GB capacities. The 30GB and 20GB models will be .2 inches in height and weigh 1.7 ounces; while the 40GB and 60GB models will be just .3 inches and weigh 2.1 ounces.
