This was in a world recors book. Some people were able to construct a hard drive that was square, about 1 x 1 inches. There is a spinning disk inside.

It doesn't have that much space, and works in a computer. The good part is, you can stack them and it will work.

Have you seen this?

Toshiba Enters Guinness World Records Book with the World's Smallest Hard Disk Drive

Quote:

TOKYO -- Toshiba Corporation today announced that Guinness World Records has certified Toshiba's 0.85-inch hard disk drive (HDD) as the smallest HDD in the world and will feature it in the 2005 edition, scheduled to be on sale in September 2004. The Guinness World Records Book is one of the world's most popular publications, the book most people reach for when they want to confirm outstanding achievements in all walks of life.

Toshiba's 0.85-inch HDD, announced in January 2004, is the first hard disk drive to deliver multi-gigabyte data storage in a sub-one-inch form factor. The 0.85-inch measurement refers to the diameter of the magnetic disk to which data is recorded. With initial capacities of 2 to 4 gigabytes (GB) the drive delivers enhanced storage to smaller, lighter, more efficient products, such as mobile phones, digital camcorders and portable storage devices. Toshiba expects to start sampling the drive in summer 2004 and to start mass production in autumn 2004.

looks like mine is smaller than your 1x1-inch

guys and gals pls. make it a habit that when your posting a fact already known or a breaking news to quote it first and then provide relevant links or exact links where you actually got it.

so we can continue discussing/commenting on it rather than spend time searching for d links.
