Toshiba brings forward 4GB 0.85in HDD debut
Register, UK
Toshiba will put its 4GB 0.85in micro hard drive into volume production next
month, rather sooner than it anticipated when it announced the product in
January this year.
Toshiba 0.85in 2GB HDDBack then, Toshiba said it would begin shipping the 2GB
version of the drive at the end of the month. It said it would offer a
two-platter version of the product, taking the capacity up to 4GB, mid-2005.
According to Japanese-language site PCWatch, Toshiba will now ship the 4GB part
in April, punching out 20,000-30,000 units a month, though the company intends
to raise that figure over successive months.
Toshiba announced its 0.85in HDD in December 2003. In September 2004, it said it
would put the unit into mass-production by the end of the year, though that
ultimately slipped to early 2005. That may explain why it's being a little more
conservative about the availability of the 4GB version.
