June 15, 1999, 1:45 p.m. PT IBM demonstrated today that it remains at the cutting edge of both ends of the hard drive spectrum by releasing a huge 37-gigabyte drive for desktop computers and a tiny, matchbook-sized drive for handheld devices. The 37GB drive is one of the highest capacity drives to date, offering about twice the data storage found today on high-end consumer PCs. The drive is estimated to have a street price of $420. A drive this size can hold hundreds of music CDs, allowing the PC to server as digital jukebox, said Greg Puhalla, director of IBM's Desktop PC Hard Disk Drive business. Using another metric, it can hold almost 40 hours of full-motion, high-resolution video.
