Toshiba is expected to sell the tiny drive later this year.

TOKYO, Japan (Reuters) — Japan’s Toshiba Corp said on Tuesday that Guinness World Records had certified its stamp-sized hard disk drives (HDDs) as the smallest in the world.

The electronics conglomerate’s 0.85-inch HDDs, unveiled in January, have storage capacity of up to four gigabytes and will be used in products such as cell phones and digital camcorders.

Thought:
“Keep away from kids!”, perhaps this is the warning message on the tiny drive’s package. :P 0.85-inch only… Can you imagine? It is about the size of the “Tab”(or “Caps Lock” ?) key on your keyboard.

The first benefit user will be photographers. They can store more RAW format images with the tiny hard drive.

    My supervisor just told me about this harddrive, but not really suitable for space application due to its
    'motor' inside. Anyway, it's a great achievement.
