GM, IBM Introduces World's Smallest Hard Disk Drive Canon, HP, IBM, Minolta, and Others Plan to Integrate IBM's Microdrive Into Future Products SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 9, 1998--IBM today unveiled the world's smallest and lightest hard disk drive with a disk platter about the size of a large coin. Although IBM's new microdrive weighs less than a AA battery, it can hold over 200 times more data or images than a floppy disk. With its small size and high performance, the microdrive is ideally suited for use in increasingly pervasive portable electronic devices, including still and video digital cameras as well as handheld or ''companion'' PCs. For example, digital photographers can now take more photos before having to pause to download the stored images. They can also take much higher resolution ''megapixel'' photos more economically. biz.yahoo.com Yogi
