Hitachi, the Japanese conglomerate, is talking to Toshiba and Fujitsu about forming a new company dedicated to hard drives and storage systems, according to reports.
Japanese memory chip manufacturer Toshiba announced yesterday that it will be showcasing a 128 GB NAND-flash-based solid-state drive (SSD) at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in early January.
Toshiba says it has earned the right to say it's more dense than its competitors.
Several major hard-drive vendors have announced that they will work together to promote and develop a new type of storage: hybrid hard drives.
Intel has confirmed plans to launch solid state drives (SSD) this week at the Intel Developer Forum in Shanghai, and claimed SSDs will beat their hard disk drive equivalents on failure rates.
Toshiba will be releasing its 30GB and 60GB 1.8-inch hard drives later than expected.
Intel, Hitachi, Toshiba and others propose CE-ATA, a new interface for miniature hard drives used in consumer electronics.
Hitachi Global Storage will come out with hard drives containing 230 gigabits of data per square inch, the company is expected to announce on Monday, which could mean a 20GB iPod mini.
If you're going to have to lug it around, you might as well get a laptop that will make business colleagues green with envy.
If you're out on the road a lot, you want a notebook that won't give you a sore shoulder at the end of the day, but you may not want to give up all the features of a full-sized notebook. Can you have both?
The Toshiba USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive is an attractive drive with a decent price. Its size makes it great for travel, but we can't recommend it due to its lack of performance.
Toshiba says it has earned the right to say it's more dense than its competitors.
Toshiba, who built one of the world's first notebooks, clearly has a head start in the race to put a laptop on every desk. The AU$1,210 Satellite M300 is a step in the right direction, being a modest, yet high quality desktop replacement at a reasonable price.
Toshiba's updated R500 is a remarkably compact and complete machine, making it ideal for business travellers. However, at $3,300 you are paying extra for the privilege of a lighter load, and the screen is a little flimsy.
The Maxtor OneTouch 4 Mini is a great option for working on the go, with fast write speeds as well as backup and restore software.
