Are you sure you still want an internal hard disk?
Toshiba presented at Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas a new portable 1.8-inch USB 2.0 hard drives collection. Yes, collection, since their design is quite minimal chic and extremely appealing, and they are based on the same hard drive line Apple has used in some iPod models.
The devices are available in 60, 80 and 120 gigabytes size, and Toshiba announced also a new 2.5 inches 320 gigabytes piece that will be available later in January of 2008 from the company's storage Web site (http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/home.to).
