IFD-iV Flash Drives Masquerade as ATA

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.

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.

Whoa, remember that 0.85 inch hard drive from Toshiba that was announced like a year ago? Well it's finally ready to go into production in April. And it was 2GB back then, but now it's up to 4GB. Toshiba plans to put the drives in portable audio players and cell phones. Let's hope they have some nice shock protection in these, because one good fall and oops, there goes your whole contact list.

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.

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.

I had to smile today. Sitting on my shelf of memorabilia is a 65 meg RLL Hard-drive that I payed $465.00 for back in the mid 80's. I was the top dog on the block and all of my buddies and I marveled at how we would every fill it up. Little did I know that in 1993 I would layout $1056.00 for a 1.6 Gig drive.
I have been kicking myself in the butt every since. But luckily the days of over-priced hard-drives are long gone. The history of the Hard-Drive is an amazing one. [CNet]

FBI Picks Up Some Novelty Hard Drives

FBI Picks Up Some Novelty Hard Drives 07/23/2004 03:08 PM
With all of the security problems in Los Alamos these days, apparently secrecy is no joking matter. The Black Hole Surplus Store and Museum apparently had some hard drives behind the counter with "secret" labels on them. They're not for sale, but are really just there to generate conversation with tourists. The FBI apparently wasn't particularly thrilled with this explanation and have confiscated the hard drive which the owner of the surplus store insists was a joke. Who knows what goes through some people's minds, but does it really seem likely that someone walking out of Los Alamos with classified info is going to hand it over to the local surplus store?
