Tom’s Hardware has put together a very in-depth review of the new 1.8-inch hard drive from Toshiba, covering performance, features, etc (including power consumption) and comparing it to its predecessors – 1.8″ drives in 40Gb and 80GB capacities.
The review is centered around the 100GB Toshiba MK1011GAH (press release at toshiba.co.jp), a 1.8-inch hard drive that uses perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) and is geared towards ultra mobile and ultraportable devices, with a lower power consumption than traditional 2.5-inch hard drives (and even previous generations of 1.8-inch drives.).
