Hitachi Microdrive 3K8

Thursday September 22, 2005

The fundamental design of the hard drive remains unchanged since the 1960s, but smaller = better in the new age.

As we drown in data and our ever increasing need for storage remains insatiable, it is inevitable that the devices themselves continue to shrink.

Review Score 5 out of 6

We were unconvinced by the orange and brown livery of Seagate’s towering desktop drive, but for the miniature version the company has toned things down. It’s still brown, but the orange glow is restricted to the front of the unit and its simple low-profile shape is far easier to like.

The LaCie Little Big Disk Quadra is less than the size of a Harry Potter book, yet crams in two 500GB 2.5in hard disks.
