Toshiba today announced a 1.8-inch drive that offers a storage capacity of 100GB; apparently it's the largest capacity for a disk of its class. Care to comment? Feel free to do so below...

OMG its mini!

Whoo has 100GB of music?

 

[dave87]

do we know what spindle speed it uses?

only thing stopping me upgrading to a 120gb Notebook drive is the lack of a 7200rpm one

 

[Phnom_Penh]

It's too small for a laptop (well the majority of them) you probably want a 2.5".

Hitachi do a 100gb one that 7200rpm.

Yea, I know

I was merely expressing the idea as they make these things smaller, with higher capacities, it comes at a cost. I was looking at the 100gb ones, but not sure if its worth the hassle of upgrading over the 80gb I've got atm

Funkstar on Hexus has about 300gb in FLAC Rips (he also owns nearly 1000 CDs, so you get the idea )

Meh, could probably hazard around 80g atm, alot of it packed (which doesn`t compact it much, if at all, just bands tracks together).

1.8 inch - ouch.

The price won`t be spectacularly nice until some1 leeches the technology and all the major manufs start making similar or better.

M$`s xbox 100g drive (due early 2007 I fink) price will blow this one out of the water tho I spect, using old technology - will give u a nice price comparison of m$ vS `the rest of the world living in reality`.

I`ve just seen the price of a Wii, and I`m getting one on general principle.
