Small Device, Big Storage
Toshiba's 1.8" 5GB PC card is a removable hard disk drive that boasts the largest storage capacity of any portable PC card on the market, according to the company. The PC card simply slides into the PC card slot on laptops, handheld devices or digital cameras.
The new card enables storage of large amounts of data (holding as much information as 3,500 floppy disks or 7.7 CD-ROMs) on a device the size of a credit card, eliminating the need to drag your laptop computer around. Many people use it as a "bridge" device for sharing data between systems such as two notebooks, a notebook and digital camera or other digital gear.
Toshiba's 1.8" 5GB PC card retails for $399. For more information contact Toshiba America Information Systems at 949/457-0777 or visit the website http://www.harddrives.toshiba.com.
