Comments on: Toshiba packs 100 GB of storage in a 1.8-inch drive http://gigaom.com/mobile/toshiba_packs_1/ Sat, 11 Feb 2012 06:01:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: John Christian http://gigaom.com/mobile/toshiba_packs_1/#comment-49520 Wed, 06 Dec 2006 05:22:41 +0000 http://jkontherun.wordpress.com/2006/12/05/toshiba_packs_1#comment-49520 A closer look at the specs, the new Toshiba uses 0.003 W/GB while the old MK8007GAH (80 GB) uses 0.00375 W/GB. Since the press release explicitly mentions this lower consuption we have to assume that its better than their previous drives. This should hopefully bring it at around Hitachi specs on power consuption but also faster. Interesting to see the first UMPC upgrades with this drive. :)

This new drive I am unsure about though.

Will be intersting to see if Samsung will release any 1.8″ inch harddrives next year or if they have focused their efforts on the new SSD drives – which are brilliant if they just come down in price.

I wasn’t interested in voiding a warranty to upgrade from 60-80GB. But I very well might for a +40GB upgrade…that is if the price is right.
