Until today, a 160GB, 1.8-inch SATA disk at 5400RPM was only a dream but now, Toshiba turned it into the real thing. They have just announced the industry’s largest-capacity / fastest 160GB MK1617GSG disk for ultra-portables and netbook-class machines.

Other companies produce 160GB in an 8-mm form factor but without any doubt this is the first 1.8-inch SATA to reach 5400RPM.

If you have some doubts you must know that it will work perfectly with a classic iPod or with a MacBook Air or Envy 133.
