Samsung intros super-slim 1.8" hard drive

The new "N" series of drives is available with capacities ranging from 20 to 60 GB and, in plain terms of capacity, won't cause much waves in a market that is starving for more storage space to store digital movies, music and pictures. However, what makes this drive series particularly interesting is its size.

Samsung achieves 60 GB capacity with just one 1.8" platter and therefore can claim to offer the highest storage density in this segment at this time. The limitation to one disk enabled Samsung to reduce the height of the drive to just 5 mm. This compares to about 7.8 mm of Toshiba's 1.8" MK drives, which integrates two platters and a total capacity of 100 GB.
