Samsung develops a 60 GB Mini Hard Disk Drive

South Korean tech giant Samsung has said that they have developed a 60 GB 1.8-inch hard disc drive.

They are planning to start mass-producing it early next year.

This new mini hard disk is in fact smaller than a business card and the impressive storage space would enable users to store 40 DVD movies and 15,000 MP3 music files on it.

Samsung said that this hard disk can be used in electronic devices like mini PCs, small notebook computers, portable multimedia players and MP3 players.

Samsung could possibly use this disk in mobile devices and could pose a challenge to Toshiba and Hitachi which manufactures the 1.8-inch hard disc drive used by Apple iPod and other devices.
