Intel has introduced a solid-state hard drive roughly the size of a fingernail.

The Z-P140 Flash drive measures 12mm x 18mm x 1.8mm and weighs just six-tenths of an ounce.

Don Larson, product manager for Intel's Nand Flash chip branch, told vnunet.com that the 2BG or 4GB chip is coupled with an even smaller hard drive controller chip.

The controller can be used to manage three additional Flash chips, allowing for up to 16GB of storage which appears in the operating system as a single hard drive.
