Western Digital 6GB one-inch hard drive

WD 6GB CF

Western Digital is joining the growing list of hard disk manufacturers making mini one-inch hard drives. The WD drives will have that Compact Flash form-factor and come in capacities as large as 6GB, use low power consumption, spin at 3600 rpm with a 12ms access time. The first ones set for release in the second quarter of 2005, expect to see them in plenty of MP3 players (and lots of other mobile gadgets) before the end of the year.
