Hitachi Unveils New Hard Drive Plans 03/20/2003 01:05 PM

Japanese electronics manufacturer Hitachi has announced its strategy for the hard drive business it acquired from IBM last spring. In an effort to reap profits where IBM could not, Hitachi is significantly revamping IBM's hard disk line, with plans calling for the introduction of new products and four new business divisions.

And despite what Apple will try to tell you, they've already ordered a big mess of them; conveniently they are missing a top-end, $500 model fourth-generation iPod. It's not a question of if, it's a question of when.

Revealed: They're Hard Drive Camcorders
09/14/2004 11:18 AM

jvc_hdd_cams.jpg imageOops, I almost forgot about these new cameras announced from JVC - the ones they've been hyping up to no end as their big "mystery product." Basically, they're camcorders with hard drives in them - a 4GB microdrive, to be exact. They look pretty cool and everything, but they're really most interesting because they are the first consumer camcorder with a built-in hard drive, not because they do anything particularly unique. That being said, I fully support this idea, and think most consumer recording technology should move to hard drives as soon as possible (I'll be waiting until you can get something with a bigger hard drive than 4GB for less than $1,500, though).

Both models (the GZ-MC100 and the GZ-MC200) can record up to 9Mbps in MPEG2, though, which is DVD quality.

Memory Reading Hard Drive
06/30/2004 12:37 PM

DriveProVP300_2.jpg imageThe Vosonic X'S-Drive Pro VP 300 is 40GB external hard drive that is clunky, cheap-looking, has a crappy text-only integrated screen, plays MP3s, but not WMA, AAC, or OGG Vorbis, and can only read from one card from its card reader at a time. So why would any photographer want it? Because it's cheap, it does the primary job it was designed to do (act as remote backup for memory cards), and can accept as many additional 2.5-inch laptop hard drives as you want to swap into it, meaning that all other things aside, you can purchase this single $335 drive and continue to upgrade it for only the price of additional hard drives.

I sincerely hope that the hard drives are technically incapable of storing ringtones, because I can't imagine what life would be like if people could fit about 10,000 of the damn things in one device. I mean, really; 10,000 songs in your pocket? Who would want that?

An Ode To The Hard Drive


An Ode To The Hard Drive 05/27/2004 09:35 AM
You know it's likely to be a slow news day when the first thing you turn up is, basically, an ode to the unsung hard drive. Hard drives are, admittedly, a fairly unsexy business. Then again, you might think the same thing about semiconductors - and they seem to get plenty of attention. Either way, storage is very important to consumers - as the article notes in looking at how quickly people focus on the size of their iPod hard drives or just how much space their Gmail account really has. Even the leading people in the storage business are quite colorful and certainly unique, which should get them much more attention. However, when it's all said and done, no matter how important your hard drive is (just think how people react when their hard drives die), and no matter how quickly they improve in just how much data they can hold, not too many people find themselves particularly interested in the "boring" hard drive business.

Welland USB On-The-Go Hard Drive


Welland USB On-The-Go Hard Drive 06/25/2004 10:32 AM

wellandotgharddrive.jpg imageEverythingUSB is mentioning that Taiwanese OEM Welland has -- at least as far as they know -- the first USB On-The-Go (OTG) hard drive. It also has a built-in card reader, USB host (duh), and a rechargeable battery. USB OTG is pretty simple, and pretty great. By adding a USB host to storage, you can hook your digital camera or anything else that supports the standard up to it and transfer data without needing to hook up to a PC. That is a positive thing.

That being said, I have a hard time believing this is the first USB OTG hard drive to see the light of day.
