Fancy 12GB of storage in a one inch ultra thing mobile hard drive? Cornice announced the industry's thinnest 1" mobile hard drive with a whopping 12 GB storage capacity. That might not sound a lot when compared with 3.5 inch monsters but considering the size, it's pretty amazing.

The new 12 gigabyte model heads up the existing one inch Dragon product line which has already made a name for itself as an ultra thin, high capacity, durable storage solution designed for consumer electronics OEMs. It will allow OEMs to offer thinner and higher-capacity consumer electronics (CE) devices while featuring industry-leading robustness, durability, and low power requirements for everyday consumer use. Mobile phones, portable media players, gaming devices and personal storage devices will be able to store more information than ever before.

Higher Capacities and Lower Power
Cornice's unique mobile storage architecture was designed from the ground up with special focus on CE device needs. By focusing exclusively on components for the CE market, Cornice has created a streamlined drive solution specifically for mobile, pocket-able applications while maintaining the features and quality required for a robust hard drive. At 12 GB, Cornice is establishing a leadership position in storage density. In response to end-user endurance demands, Cornice has decreased the power of Dragon by half, and now represents only five percent of the total battery consumption within the typical MP3 player system.

If you've never considered network storage before or perhaps you've looked around and seen the prices, then you may just be tempted to get something like this which will be significantly cheaper than most other options out there at the moment.
