Released in 1999, the IBM Microdrive fit into a Compact Flash Type II card slot, but was actually a hard drive, the world's smallest hard drive. When first released, IBM offered 2 capacities, 170MB and 340MB, which in those days were massive for portable storage of that size. IBM's recommended retail price for the 340MB Microdrive kit, including a PC card adapter and a field case, was $499.Stop the Jokes
