Samsung’s saucy new 120GB credit card sized USB HDD has made an appearance in China. This 1.8″ 4,200-rpm USB drive may be an attractive buy considering most popular drives use the 2.5″ size format. This credit card usb drive is incredible power saver with impressive performance. The 4200-rpm USB drive only draws less than 1.4W and needs just 300mA from a 500mA USB port. Its power consumption is only one-fourth that of a 2.5″ drive. Disk benchmark shows the 4,200-rpm read speed is rated at 27MB/s and write at 23MB/s, which are on par with high-end flash drives.  Expect the Samsung 1.8″ 40GB version to be priced for approx $161; 60GB for $191; and 80GB for $235. The 120GB will be available at $293.
