Toshiba intros 320GB 1.8-inch HDD

Toshiba has introduced a new line of 1.8-inch hard drives with a maximum capacity of 320GB (currently the industry’s highest for the 1.8-inch form factor) for fitting into thin and light notebooks, portable drives, and mobile devices (such as Apple’s iPod Classic). Falling under Toshiba’s MK3233GSG family of compact drives, the new models will be available in 160GB, 250GB, and 320GB capacities, and will feature 5400rpm motors, a 16MB cache, and a SATA interface.

Come to think about it, a 320GB iPod would be awesome, but any mobile device with 320GBs of internal storage would be great. Not to mention the fact that it’ll still be way cheaper than devices packing an SSD at half this capacity.
