IBM introduces faster mobile hard drives

IBM announced on Wednesday new thin mobile hard drives that will spin at a rotational rate of 5,400 RPM. The 0.37-inch thin Travelstar GNX drives will come in capacities of 20GB and 40GB and will begin shipping in April. The drives use IBM's "pixie dust" technology, which increases the amount of data that can be stored on the platters within the hard drives. IBM representatives said that pricing for the new drives has not been determined.
