New miniature hard disk drives revolutionize capacity and performance of portable electronics IBM 170 MB/340 MB Microdrives The IBM 170 MB and 340 MB microdrives capacity. And weighing just 20 grams, the Highlights break the storage barrier traditionally 170 MB and 340 MB microdrives will be imposed on portable electronic devices the most portable disk drives available-- Smallest, lightest by providing high capacity in a CF Type II an important benefit for users of hard disk drives form factor.

Because With 170 MB and 340 MB capacities, they are hard disk drives, they perform microdrive technology takes storage far like hard disk drives--far surpassing key beyond the compact flash memory More memory, more portability, performance levels achieved by flash cards1 in use today. more value memory cards. And that translates to With capacities of 170 MB or 340 MB improved productivity for users. The Compatible with CompactFlash on a single hard disk drive, these tiny microdrive's higher storage capacities Type II interface microdrives will be, per megabyte, a also improve efficiency because users Designed to the industry-standard cost-effective way to add more storage won't have to download data as often.
