Toshiba shows thin 60GB notebook hard drive
Toshiba gave a great leap this week in its notebook business.
The company announced last Tuesday its first notebook hard drive
to put 60GB of storage onto a two-platter hard drive. Rival IBM
has already reached the 60GB mark. However, the Big Blue's part
has more layers, which makes it more expensive and taller when placed
inside a portable computer.
 Toshiba
says its solution is way more cost-effective. The company plans
to start shipments of the innovative hard drive late next month
but it is still unknown how much will this new part cost for computer
makers, which makes it hard to guess how will the prices stay for
the ready machines. Still, Toshiba guaranteed that, as with other
major releases, the price is likely to start high but come down
over time.
Toshiba is trying to toughen competition with rival IBM. The two
companies are leading the market when it comes to notebook hard
drives. Even though IBM has the number one with higher number of
shipments, Toshiba has great deals such as the one with Apple to
produce 5 and 10 GB drives for the popular iPod player.
