On January 25, Samsung unveiled its first 1.8-inch drive with a 60GB capacity - a product in its line of N-series hard drives.

Ultra-slim with 5mm height, Samsung's N series has capacities of 20, 30, 40 and 60 GB with both internal and external hard drives. With the release of this high-capacity ultra-thin drive, Samsung hopes its products will soon be widely used in portable and mobile devices worldwide.

Samsung has released a 1.8-inch 60-GB drive images 1 Despite the early announcement of the new hard drive in early 2007, Samsung was not the first company to introduce a high-capacity ultra-thin hard drive. Earlier this month, Seagate also released the Lyrion drive with the same size of 1.8 inches and a capacity of 60 GB.

According to Samsung, the new N series drives are currently the quietest device on the market, with measured sound intensity at 1.8 Bel (equivalent to 18 decibels). The current minimum listening threshold of a person with good hearing is only 2 Bel. And although there is no official information about a partnership between Samsung and Sony, there is a rumor that Samsung's new 60GB capacity drive will be used in Sony's new PSP model.
