IT'S OFFICIAL: TOSHIBA'S TEENY HARD DRIVE IS WORLD'S SMALLEST
Guinness World Records has certified that Toshiba's .85-inch hard disk drive is the smallest in the world. The company says the tiny drives squeeze up to 4 gigabytes of storage into a stamp-sized device that will find a use in products such as cell phones and digital camcorders. "Toshiba's innovation means that I could soon hold more information in my watch than I could on my desktop computer just a few years ago," says Guinness science and technology editor David Hawksett.
