Samsung has introduced its new product SpinPoint N2 - a 120-gigabyte USB-shny 1.8-inch hard disk drive. No larger than a credit card.
Novelty has a good performance. Spindle speed - 4200 revolutions per minute; read speed - 27 MB per second, write - 23 MB per second. With a consumption of 1.4 W and using only 300 mA (available from a 500 mA USB port), this looks quite tempting, but ...
Currently SpinPoint N2 is available only in China. But the prices are not at all Chinese. The 120-gigabyte model costs $ 293. Considering that 2.5-inch USB-drives (even with a capacity of more than 300 GB) cost from as little as $ 120, almost $ 300 for miniature is a bit too much. ')
