Check out this little beaut. A 0.85 inches in size and 2 grams in weight, this tiny 8GB Toshiba hard disk is the smallest hard disk in the world. It’s not out yet, but I’m sure we’ll see higher capacities and even smaller sizes in a short time. We could have iPod nanos with 80GB on them in a few years, or Smart Phones that can double as external disks. There will be no need to have memory cards in your camera, just put one of these tiny disks in there and you’ll have way more storage. Of course, power consumption might be an issue, but since this disk isn’t even out yet, I’ll just keep imagining the uses for it in all the devices I own that use memory cards or USB memory sticks that aren’t even close to 8GB.
