250GB worth of pr0n at your fingertips

TOSHIBA HAS RELEASED a 1.8-inch HDD drive that can store 250GB worth of data.

The MK2529GSG 5,400rpm drive uses a SATA interface with a 3Gbps data transfer rate and has a seek time of just 15ms.

Not only that, it is 8mm thin which makes it really handy for ultra-portable laptops and portable media players.

Toshiba released a 240GB MK2431GAH drive a few weeks ago which broke all records on the size of harddrives. The record was set in June with the 160GB MK1617GSG drive.

The SATA interface means that the tiny drive could provide some stiff competition to the slim but expensive Solid State Drives.

According to a press release the new drive will be rolling out of the factories in November.
