Toshiba Corp. will begin mass-producing a 60GB, 1.8-inch hard-disk drive before the end of the year, it said Wednesday. Such drives are commonly used in digital music players and sub-notebook computers. The new drive offers a 50-percent improvement in storage space over Toshiba's current highest capacity 1.8-inch hard-disk drive yet manages this without being physically larger. The major factor that contributed to this increase was an advancement made in a thin-film technology used for both the head and platter, said Midori Suzuki, a spokeswoman for Toshiba in Tokyo.

IFD-iV Flash Drives Masquerade as ATA
Hard Drives 07/15/2004 08:59 AM

For embedded computing hackers, mass storage (like hard drives) is often the most frustrating piece of the puzzle, as the fragile and power-hungry spin of the hard drive is usually the last non-solid-state part in the whole deployment. And while most engineers will just use a Compact Flash card, sometimes the only option is an ATA (hard drive) connection; that's where the IFD-iV flash memory parts from IO Data Device Corporation come in. Basically just flash memory drives, the defining feature of the IFD-iVs (besides fairly rugged operating specifications) is that they use the standard ATA connection of a hard drive, meaning they can be deployed in place of hard drives when necessary. Models up to 2GB in capacity will be available for around $2,100 -- maybe we'll just deal with the fragile hard drives instead.

Keitai Watch has posted a report from the "PDA Solutions Fair 2004," and probably the most attractive item is Toshiba's new version of the "GENIO e" Windows Mobile PDA. And by attractive, I mean VGA - 640 x 480 resolution. On a 4 inch screen, no less. Yes, I am attracted to 4" VGA screens, and it takes a man to admit it.

Toshiba SD-P5000 15-Inch Not A Monitor

Toshiba SD-P5000 15-Inch Not A Monitor 06/24/2004 09:47 AM

My first thought after seeing this 15-inch LCD panel with DVD from Toshiba was, "Of course! A decent VGA monitor that doubles as a somewhat portable movie player. How lovely. I need a snack," but as I looked at it, it seemed as if it actually doesn't have VGA ins, so ... why not? It absolutely kills me to have all these perfectly decent LCD televisions unable to accept a VGA signal. In the past, sure, it made sense. Television CRTs were huge but had awful resolution and computer CRTs were small and had high resolution, but that's increasingly not the case. Anyway, just as I got really confused, I noticed this diagram at the bottom, which if I'm interpreting correctly means the Toshiba SD-P5000 can, through a series of intricate MPEG encodings and I/P processes, turn a DVD into a fish. Oh, okay then, no VGA forgiven.

Let's hope they have some nice shock protection in these, because one good fall and oops, there goes your whole contact list.

Trusted Reviews tries out the MSI Mega Cache 15, a portable 1.5GB USB hard drive that is aiming for a chunk of the flash memory segment with its very reasonable $150 price (1GB flash drives are hovering around $175 - $300 at the moment). Wrapped up in an attractive brushed aluminum chasis, the Mega Cache performs exactly as advertised, making it a viable alternative to most other small portable media, especially considering its small size (it's using a 1-inch drive). If you use one with a Powerbook it would look like it were suckling its own child.

Soyo Group Inc. has taken the wraps off its latest portable hard drive, the Cigar HD20, a 1.8-inch hard drive with a USB 2.0 interface and 20GB of storage capacity. With its magnesium alloy casing, the US$199 Cigar HD20 is approximately the size of an iPod and weighs 2.8 ounces. The hard drive spins at 4200RPM and it draws power from a USB port. Soyo's Web page for the product lists the inclusion of compression/decompression software as well as e-mail sending and receiving capabilities and security features, but a company representative told MacCentral that none of those items currently ship with the drive, although they could be added at a later date. He was unsure if they will be compatible with Mac OS X. The Cigar HD20 comes with a USB 2.0 cable and a soft carrying case.
