Toshiba is planning to launch a 60GB version of its 1.8-inch hard disk drive in the coming months and has already found a customer in Apple, the company said Wednesday.
The drive will enter mass-production during July or August and represents a jump in the storage density of Toshiba’s 1.8-inch drives, said Cindy Lee, deputy manager of Toshiba Digital Media Network Taiwan Corp.’s hard disk drive division technical department.
Toshiba’s current highest capacity drive, which is a 40GB model, includes two disc platters, each capable of holding 20GB of data. In the new drive, this capacity will be increased to 30GB per platter.
