40GB Toshiba Hard Drives

iPoding notes that Toshiba now lists a 40GB version of the 1.8" HD that is used in Apple's iPod.



10GB and 20GB versions of Toshiba's drives were announced in January 2002 and then found their way into Apple's iPods in March 2002 (10GB) and July 2002 (20GB).

Considering I thought any iPod was a silly thing to own, I can't believe I'm about to say this... but I'd trade my 20gig for a 40gig in a heartbeat!

my mp3/cd player was stolen from my car and now i have the money to buy a decent cd player and a 20g ipod. (they did a little damage to my sunroof and my employer is picking up my deductable.)...compUSA said they would let me trade if apple released something up to two weeks after i purchase something....should i wait or get the 20g?

If apple was smart they would have worked with toshiba to get thier ipods ready for the new hard drives, making it possible for them to release immediately.

20gig since the hdd has been around for awhile and is known to be reliable.

This new 40gig does not have a track record yet.

This drive won’t see it’s way into the iPod for about two or three months!! :(

I would use it for back up and mp3’s, because my 10GB iPod is too small to back up all my stuff!!

I would also trade it in for my external Firewire HDD….it is just way to big!!
