TOSHIBA HAS INTRODUCED a miniature 240 GB hard disk drive aimed at ultra-mobile PCs. The company also unveiled a diminutive 120 GB HDD designed for portable media players.

Both units measure 1.8 inches and are capable of achieving 4,200 revolutions per minute. The drives feature a parallel ATA interface and have a total area density of 344 GB per square inch.

In addition, Toshiba reportedly incorporated new design elements that signifcantly optimise energy efficency and reduce power consumption.

Toshiba is betting that major retailers will rush to incorporate their mini drives in consumer electronics and mobile PC products by Christmas.

Better hurry, then. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
