Attached: 3 images Probably the smallest hard disk drive ever commercially produced, the 0.85-inch 2GB drive was introduced by Toshiba in 2004 and used in the Nokia N91 mobile phone and the Cowon iAudio 6. There were 4GB and 8GB versions but by 2007 it fell out of use, replaced by flash memory. https://obsoletemedia.org/0-85-inch-hard-disk/
