SATA hard disk enthusiasts will have something to look forward to next month as Toshiba announced the a new 1.8 inch hard drive.
The new hard drive will use low insertion force, or LIF, SATA connectors. What this means is that we’re now going to see hard drives that are actually ten percent smaller compared to the standard size of micro SATA 1.8 inch hard drives.
These new drives have been specifically designed for use with mobile devices like tablets, cameras, portable hard drives and media players, among others. The new line will initially be available in the following hard drive capacities – 160 GB, 200 GB and 220 GB.
