Samsung Announces 120 GB 1.8'' Hard Drive
Samsung has announced a 120 GB 1.8" Hard Drive, suitable for use in Apple's full-sized iPods. Currently, Apple's high-end iPod features an 80 GB drive.
Seagate also offers a 120 GB 1.8" Hard Drive, and Toshiba currently maxes out at 100 GB in the 1.8" variety.
Some recent rumors have indicated that Apple may be toying with the idea of going to an all-flash based lineup, however such a move would make high-capacity iPods impossible at a reasonable price point, even despite plummeting flash prices.

With Apple's increasing focus on video and the possibility of an iPod refresh with an iPhone-like interface, you'd think they'd want to keep the highest capacities possible at the top of their lineup.

It has been a while since the latest refresh... but I wish they would go with flash based drives.

Flash is cool, and will certainly be the future. However, for now, HD based large capacities are the way to go... anything over 16GB of flash is just too expensive right now. A 120GB full-sized iPod would be a nice update.

80GB Is good enough for me as it is - I don't even have that much music!
But this is nice, this is pretty cool for those who need it.
What I'd like to see is a flash-based full-size iPod, somewhere between 30-60GB - all flash based. Then, that'd be sweet!

Yeah, I see what your saying. I guess I'll just hope for larger capacities in the smaller lines.

if we are to see the true video iPod with touchscreen controls, 120GB harddrive will be a need because a screen like iPhone has can show a much higher quality videos which automatically will take much larger files.

With the new DRM-free itunes, my library would grow double in size.
Yup, from 1 to 2 Gb. :rolleyes:

This will be really nice for the next Video iPod. (I assume it will be similar to the iPhone in terms of screen/formfactor, but trades phone/messaging functionality for a hard drive.)
