| Tiny Hard Drives to Offer More Storage
Capability |
 |
In 2004, new
sub-1-inch drives will hit the market that offer more storage space than
previous drives. These drives may be popular among people who have mobile
devices such as handheld digital video players, MP3 players, cell phones,
etc. |

Such devices will
have disk drives and Toshiba is set to roll out sub-1-inch hard drives
this January. Toshiba joins others in developing drives with 0.8-inch or
0.7-inch diameter platters which are small compared to the iPod's 1.8 inch
drive. |

Some hard drives
will be cheaper than flash memory cards. PC World reports that the
cheapest 1GB flash memory card is $250. 1GB microdrives start at $159. The
only drawback is that higher capacity microdrives cost more than flash
memory cards. |
