Hitachi's
new Microdrive 3K4 provides cost-effective personal storage.
Weighing just over half an ounce (16 grams) and about the size
of a matchbook, Hitachi's Microdrive continues to reign as the
world's smallest hard disk drive.
This new drive uses ultra-miniaturized
components, including Hitachi's femto slider technology which
enables higher capacities and better power efficiency.
The arrival of a 4 GB capacity also enables and delivers a
cost-effective solution for running complex operating systems in
embedded applications, or portable digital devices like PDAs and
handheld PCs.
