The IBM microdrives break the storage barrier traditionally imposed on portable electronic devices by providing high capacity in a CF Type form factor. These microdrives will allow users of digital cameras to capture more high-resolution photos without the need for frequent downloading or saving of data. Handheld PC users will be able to access more applications and maintain large databases (e.g. Internet pages and e-mail). The microdrives will also enable the creation of new product categories that combine consumer electronics with computer applications. With huge capacities, these tiny microdrives will be, per megabyte, a cost-effective way to add more storage capacity. And weighing just 20 grams, the microdrives will be the most portable disk drives available - an important benefit for users of handheld devices - from sub-notebooks to digital cameras to new mobile information products. With super fast read/write rates and operating speeds of 4500 RPM, these microdrives offer significant improvements over current technology. Because they are hard disk drives, they perform like hard disk drives - far surpassing key performance levels achieved by flash memory cards. And that translates to improved productivity for users. The microdrive's higher storage capacities also improve efficiency because users won't have to download data as often.
