Toshiba readies 'highest capacity' 1.8in SATA hard drive

Only 8mm thick

The 8mm-thick HDD is accompanied by an 80GB version that's just 2g lighter than the 62g higher-capacity model.

Both drives spin at 5400rpm, up from th 4200rpm Toshiba's current top-of-the-line 1.8in drive, the 120GB MK1214GAH spins at.
